partition sizing and raid1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I created a new raid1 array on two 300GB disks but it came in underweight in size...

Filesystem           1M-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0                129013     27322     95137  23% /home

I guess I stuffed up with the partitioning (from fdisk):

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 16709 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1     16709 134215011   fd  Linux raid autodetect

This was accepting fdisk's default max size.

I realise this is not an fdisk mailing list but I guess you've probably hit this problem when creating large disk arrays. Could anyone please provide a quick hint on what I've stuffed up?

kernel: 2.4.18

dpkg (debian woody) says fdisk is:
ii  util-linux     2.11n-7        Miscellaneous system utilities.

the fdisk man page suggests using cfdisk... is this likely to help? it looks like a will have to recreate the raid1 array anyway. :-(
