Dear All
I've got an e-smith box (5.0) with software raid using two 10gb hard drives. The second drive is a few cylinders smaller than the first. The trouble is I've ended up with just 5gb of space.
Anyone know how I can claw back the other 5gb?
This might help.
[root@server /root]# fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1245.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1245 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 33 265041 fd Linux raid autodetect
