partition issue

Pradeep_7 — Thu, 20 Jun 2002 22:17:08 GMT

I have made a partition for 40GB using fdisk. When I look for the list of partitions there, it shows me the partition made is 40GB but, after I mount that and check it with df -h it shows me the partition is only 10GB. Is this mean the partition is made to 40GB according to fdisk or its made to 10GB according to df?

Hi

Could you post following output?

fdisk -l /dev/yourdisk
df -h
df

and
version of fileutils RPM
# rpm -q fileutils

version of util-linux
# rpm -q util-linux

What your distro?

version of RedHat release?
# cat /etc/redhat-release

Do you think your bios support more than 33GB disk drive?

Regards,
