I bought a new storage server and installed freebsd7 onto it. it came with two raid partitions, one of 32GB which i used for the o/s and one of 4.7TB which i am planning to use as a nfs partition. everything went fine during the install, fdisk said that there was 4.7TB on the second partition which i labelled "/export". but when the machine booted up and i did df -h it said that that partition only has 61GB and not 4.7TB $ uname -a FreeBSD pmstorage3.uk1.bibliotech.net 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 $ $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 496M 128M 328M 28% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/da1s1d 61G 4.0K 56G 0% /export /dev/da0s1e 496M 12K 456M 0% /tmp /dev/da0s1f 22G 515M 20G 2% /usr /dev/da0s1d 4.1G 1.3M 3.8G 0% /var $ server details are CyberServe 38512 3U Chassis 16 x Hot Swap HDD, 5.25 Slim line CD, FDD Redundant 700 Watt PSU X7 DBE Main Board 1 x 5420 2.5GHz Intel Xeon Low power Processor 2 x 6Mb 1333 FSB 16 GB DDR Memory ( Low Powered Ram) 3 Ware 16 Port Hardware RAID Controller, 0,1,0+1,5,50 & 6 16 x WD 500 Gb SATA HDDs Green Drives (Raid 6 System Drives Total Usable Volume size 4.79 TB ) 2xGbE LAN ports, does anyone know why this is? thanks, oliver -- Confidentiality Notice: This email is confidential and may also be privileged.
