Hi all I seem to be a little confused as to the space being used on my hard
drive and the partition confgiuration
the output of df -h is
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root at linux etc]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 7.7G 3.4G 3.8G 47% /
/dev/hda1 23M 5.0M 17M 23% /boot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bios reports the drive as having 8447 meg
however df -h comes in under 8 gig
useing fdisk p shows
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1027 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 3 24066 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 4 1027 8225280 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 4 1018 8152956 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 1019 1027 72261 82 Linux swap
The fstab file is as follows[root at linux /etc]# cat fstab
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults
1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults
1 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults
0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc defaults
0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
Now my question is do i need to modify the fstab file to include
/dev/hda2 and /dev/hda6
if so could somebody include an example of what the fstab should look like
given the above information.
Thank you
and A Merry Xmas to all
Regards Bob Andrews.
