Topic: Adding a extra hdd!

[Magnus]

Hi.
I´m running e-smith 6 on a P4
i´m trying to add a extra hdd, it´s 250gb
i have tried with http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/mblotwijk/HowToGuides/AddExtraHardDisk.htm

but i cant make it work.. the disc will only be 7.6mb large.
Do any one know how to make it work?

Thanx

what is the output if you do #  df -T
do you have phpsysinfo installed what does that tell you?
what do you see if you do
# fdisk /dev/haX (X is the drive)
in fdisk type --> p (enter)

Filesystem    Type   1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3     ext3     7756100    709364   6652744  10% /
/dev/hda1     ext3      101089     14053     81817  15% /boot
none         tmpfs      123752         0    123752   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb1     ext3        7776      1043      6332  15% /mnt/big1
/dev/hdc1     ext3   115393704  13420780  96111212  13% /mnt/big2

big1 is the 250gb driver
They funny thing is it showing the right size in fdisk. but not after.

do you have more than one partition on "big1"?
is your drive OK, test it with the tools from the manufacturer.
does your bios recognize the drive correct?

cheers
