Hi,
I am trying to tidy up & re-arrange the partitions on my HDD, but I seem to have conflicting information about which partition has my Linux system on it. Can anyone tell me/give me any clues from he info below?
Output from
parted
Disk /dev/hdc: 40.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 41.1MB 41.1MB primary fat16
2 41.1MB 8431MB 8390MB primary ext3 boot
3 8431MB 8538MB 107MB primary ext3
4 8538MB 40.0GB 31.5GB extended lba
5 8538MB 18.9GB 10.4GB logical ext3
This suggests partition 2 is my system partition, yes?
And that is support by grub.conf ....
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2895.fc6)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb acpi=on
initrd /initrd-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6.img
But my recollection is that it was on partition 5, which is supported by df:
[imurch01@imurch01 ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc5 9.6G 6.4G 2.8G 70% /
/dev/hdc3 99M 17M 77M 18% /boot
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc2 7.6G 6.0G 1.3G 83% /home
And if you look at the sizes, hdc5 is definitely the 5th entry from the
parted output. I am thoroughly confused
Any help will be much appreciated.
