Only mounted partitions will be showed in df. If you have two 2 GB partition then you have to format the other one (using mkfs utility for example) and mount it. But if you have a one 4 GB partition but df says that it's 2 GB then there is a problem :-) Which one? |

Is the rest of the drive part of another partition? Or did you partition the drive correctly?

you can do a fdisk -l to get a list of all the partitions on your disk.
df only shows the mounted partitions.

Ah, you must have two drives... this one is a primary master hd and the one you listed earlier was a partition on a primary slave hd.
