memory allocation problem
i have hardisk of 80GB...and while installing Fedora-9 i deleted all the partitions and installed.
but after installing the disk management is only showing 54 GB... the output of the fdisk -l command is--- Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xb0d8b0d8 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 2612 9728 57167302+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 2612 2742 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 2743 9728 56115013+ 83 Linux i am not getting where my 20Gb has gone and also what is dis /dev/sda2 partition |

Can u tell me how to allocate that 20GB partition....

Use Gparted or the partedmagic CD
Or #su #parted /dev/sda #p You must make an extra primary partition in the freespace from 13 to 2612 (parted will see it differently) |
Better to use a livecd in this case. In general, it is not a good idea to edit a filesystem that is mounted.

@amani
i am not geting the procedure that tou hav given...
How to do the partition..i tried the commands that u gave but dint get it..:cry: |
hey plzzz help me.......nobody here or wat???
|
Download and burn the gparted livecd. Or install gparted in your distro so you can format while you are using it.
|
FYI: Your subject mentions "memory", but this topic is about hard disk space. Memory != Disk Space.
|
Are you sure? Isn't a hard drive persistent memory?;)
|
Yes, I'm sure.
+ Memory almost always means RAM, fast, short term non-persistent storage, + Hard disk always means slower, long-term persistent storage. We have distinct words to mean distinct things. It is best to use the word that best fits the topic. I read "memory' in the subject and think RAM, not HD. Many people make the mistake of calling their HD "memory". |
Hey thanx...the problem is fixed....using gparted is very easy...:D
