I have recently installed FC6 and I thought I partitioned /home to use 80 GB. apparently this is not the case as Disk usage analyzer shows /home as having 104MB and my user at 103 MB.
Any ideas in how to fix this?? I do have G-parted installed.the Logical Volume Manager shows Partition 1 as being Unintialized.
fdisk -l results are:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

hi what do you get if you type

mount

?
because lvm like raid does not get mounted by hd device name
but instead/dev/md0 or /dev/lvm

im only asking since it looks like
/dev/hdb1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
is about 100MB

I ran mount and recieved:
[root@localhost ~]# mount
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /home type ext3 (rw)

sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,shortname=winnt,uid=500)

I also ran df -h and recieved:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

I think when I ran the disk druid I forgot to remove all linux partitions before doing the install
At least I had this problem after 2 days instead of a year down the road, so the back up won't be that big
Just as a side note, I found two web sites that were VERY informative as far as LVM.
they are:
http://www.unix-tutorials.com/go.php?id=333 (this one shows the LVM tools GUI)
and
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/index.html (this one explains the concepts and useage of the LVM... also explains what files are needed and how to run commands)
Thanks for the help.

re-installed the OS removed all partitions and went with the default install runs great!
