mount point shrinked

[joe_91]

we are running linux AS3 (no lvm - fdisk). we have a mount point which reads from df -k as follows

/dev/sdn1 253855 4167 236582 2% /backup

it seems this was created with 100G but it shows only 250 meg. i am familiar with lvm not sure how to troubleshoot this. how can i get back the 100g which was allocated to this
?

Thanks

Joe

sdn? Attached to a SAN? Has anybody been messing with the storage?

[joe_91]

is there any way i can troubleshoot this?

THanks

Ok, lets look at this shall we:

dmesg:

SCSI device sdn: 4194304 512-byte hdwr sectors (2147 MB)

It sayt's 'sdn' is 2GB, with 1 partition (sdn1).

'df -k' output:
/dev/sdn1 2063504 32832 1925852 2% /db2/RMDB/log_dir

This says that 'sdn1' is 2GB mounted to '/db2/RMDB/log_dir'. Sounds good.


dmesg:

Attached scsi disk sdv at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sdv: 860239872 512-byte hdwr sectors (440443 MB)

'df -k' output (continued):

/dev/sdv1 253855 15794 224955 7% /backup
/dev/sdv1 253855 15794 224955 7% /boot

The locally-attached (read: internal) 440GB disk has 9 partitions (plus 1 extended).

'sdv' appears to be laid out as follows:

/dev/sdv1 - /boot (also as /backup ?!)
/dev/sdv2 - /opt
/dev/sdv3 - /usr
/dev/sdv4 - Extended partition which has:
/dev/sdv5 - / (root)
/dev/sdv6 - /var
/dev/sdv7 - /tmp
/dev/sdv8 - /home
/dev/sdv9 - /opt/monitor
/dev/sdv10 - Unknown, assumably swap?

Tallied up, we have 'sdv' using 48GB, with a 2GB swap partition somewhere (possibly sdv10).

So.. I'm lost as to what's supposed to be where. The 'sdn1' in your original post isn't the same '/backup' partition (which matches 'sdv1' perfectly) as you've shown us here.

You've got a few hundred GB of local space unallocated, or not in use.

And you've got a mountain of external mounts of which none approach 100GB's in size.

What do you have here? Are your mount-names moving about? are you mouting by volume-label? You've got an 'sdj' which isn't mounted anywhere, what's that?

if have created a new volume for 100G in /dev/sdv11 but got this error message

i unmounted the /backup and then created this new partitiol, not sure what is wrong?

If I read right, you are now testing sdv1. That's OK. On your last post, had you reboot the system and let the kernel update the fs?
