Topic: Hard Drive space

[landymas]

I have a Dell Poweredge Server running SMEServer 7.2 with two 160 GB SATA drives using the Linux RAID 1 confguration from the console. The server only reports about 80 GB available as seen here:

Filesystem                       Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/main-root      72G   15G   54G  22% /
/dev/md1                        99M   21M   74M  22% /boot
none                              1014M     0 1014M   0% /dev/shm

Is this normal and is there any way to get the server to recognize the full amount?

No it's not normal. What does "cat /proc/mdstat' show?

It says:
Personalities  :  [raid1]
md2   :   active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1]
             78043648 blocks [2/2] [UU]

md1   :   active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1]
             104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]

unused devices: <none>

OK, so you do have two hard drives. Are you sure that your drives are 160GB? What says:

fdisk -l /dev/sda
fdisk -l /dev/sdb

?

[root@smeserver proc]# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Did the /dev/sdb already have data on i.e windows XP or was it a fresh hard drive ?

[landymas]

fresh install on new drives and server

OK, can you raise a new bug please as something is not right... Thanks. Please provide hardware details and the results of what you have already done here.
