What is this partition

riba43 · 11-09-2006, 07:36 AM

Hi,
recently I have formatted my 80GB disk. I made a NTFS partition of 20GB where I installed Win XP pro. I left 60GB unformatted and let SuSE 10.1 do what should be done. Both systems are working fine. I also have an other disk of 40GB, FAT32, where are my files (wins and linux). Now, when I checked what is my disk space (meaning Linux), I have the following partitions:

/dev/hda1 ntfs /windows/C (this is OK)
/dev/hda6 auto (20GB,/data 1 (occupied 16,6%)
/dev/hda7 reiserfs /
/dev/hda8 reiserfs /home
/dev/hdb1 vfat /windows/D

Now I want to know what is hda6. There are linux files there, some are empty. I would like to resize this to my home partition. Is that possible?

Where did you get that information from? "auto" doesn't sound like a valid filesystem type..what about

Code:

df

and

Code:

mount

what do they say?

Another interesting thing is that in YAST>System>Monitor>devices, my /dev/hdb1 vfat /windows/D device is marked as full. Only 36MB free. But when I go to Windows and check and start TotalCommander and Diskkeeper, the disk is only 40% full. Why is that and how to repair it?

Hello friend I think it's being used by xen to install the images of the OSes there or you did something like software raid which is kinda hard.
