Somethings up with my Hardrive or ...
Hi guys any help i can get with this Question would be much appreciated.
I have recently changed distro's from Red Hat 9 to Debian. while using red hat i bought a new 120gig Hardrive and needed it for backing up dvd's that i produce for clients. Now Im fairly new to linux but i did the necessary research and got the second HD up and running, now when i changed distro's to Debian all i did was edit my fstab and mount the second HD to a directory i created and everything "seemed" to work fine. Now I was using the hardrive to download packages i needed and apps etc... And this worked fine. Then once i setup samba and checked the size of the remote Hardrive (linked to the 120gig HD on linux) I have on my Windows computer, I noticed that the size and free space of this drive was not being displayed as it used to be on when i had setup the same things on Red-Hat. I took no notice of this until i installed video-dvdrip for debian and when i tried to rip a dvd i noticed it had in the bottom space meter 0mb space on Hardrive this was unusual as it was correctly linked to my 120gig HD and when i used this app on Red-Hat it worked fine and showed correct amount of free space. I can still download things to the hardrive and what not but i can't with dvdrip which is the most important app i use as, when i try to it puts up a flag saying cannot proceed 0 mb space on HD. But this is incorrect there is planty of space on the HD it is nowhere near full and has at least 60gig free, i typed df -h and got this output: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 -2387040283165k 1.0k 0.0k 11% / /dev/hda1 -8113220825k 1.0k 0.0k 13% /boot /dev/hdb1 -30211860042933k 1.0k 0.0k 58% /home/HD120 I thought it looked a bit wierd too... I typed df -ik and got: Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/hda3 1158720 49408 1109312 5% / /dev/hda1 2000 23 1977 2% /boot /dev/hdb1 14663680 3789 14659891 1% /home/HD120 i wasn't sure wat this meant but anyway Hopefully all the information you linux wiz'z need to solve this is here I REALLY REALLY NEED TO GET THIS WORKING As i need dvdrip for work and although i can still use the HD and install things i can't do the main thing i need and that is backup dvd's and transcode video data with dvdrip. Thanks in advance hope you can help. |

I was running Debian, and I was upgrading piecemeal to testing. The problem was that my old version of fileutils broke when I upgraded to glibc 2.3. Upgrading to the 5.0 version of fileutils that comes with testing fixed the problem. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/coreutils Yes I do realize this thread is a year old. It was also the first linuxquestions hit on google. |
