Then you mount it (e.g. man fstab &/or man mount).

It looks like the drive is already one big partition with an ext3
file system on it, but it is only shown as being 9.2G. It almost
looks like the partition was resized but the file system wasn't. If
it didn't already have 5.3G of data on it, it would be tempting to
delete and recreate the file system.

Mikkel looks closest so far to me.

Unmount the partition.
run e2fsck:
e2fsck -n /dev/sdb1

That's a read-only test.

If that looks okay, then
man resize2fs
resize2fs <whatever seems good> /dev/sdb1

if that wants you you to e2fsck with more options, do it, then try again.

Mount the partition again, then
\df -h /media/disk-1
and see whether it looks better.


I can only guess at how you got that partition's data that way.
a. Copy a drive over like so:
dd if=/dev/diskb of=/dev/diskc
but that doesn't explain the partition's size.
b. Partition to one big partition, then copy some data thus:
dd if=/dev/diskb1 of=/dev/diskc1
which could leave a filesystem that doesn't fill the partition.
