Description The Fallen 2003-04-27 11:13:37 UTC
Ok, i have too harddisks in my machine, one (hdb) with 80gb (hdb1) and the other
1 (hda) with 40gb, splitted into a 200mb (hda1) for the kernel, a 4gb (hda2)
with the gentoo installation and a 36gb (hda3) partition. now i wanted to backup
some files (something around 15gb :P ) from the 80gb plate to the 36gb
partition. i got an error message not enough diskspace. deleted some files and
wondered cauz there is nearly nothing on this partition. so i checked the system
monitor. it displays me hda3 3,7gb! the filetypes are for hda1=ext3
hda2=reiserfs hda3=reiserfs hdb1=ntfs. Can anybody help me?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
dont know whether its reproducible but i believe that it would be possible

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-04-27 15:48:40 UTC
run `df -h` to make sure the file systems are being reported correctly ...
also check `mount` to make sure each filesystem has been mounted correctly ... if you mount say an ext3 as reiserfs, you'll get weird things like that ...
Comment 2 The Fallen 2003-04-28 09:42:12 UTC
I have tried 'df -h' but it reports my /dev/hda3 wrong too. is it in any file listed how big my hds are? or what else can i do?
Comment 3 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-28 11:10:09 UTC
Filesizes are listed in /proc/ide/hda/capacity

Check if "fdisk -l /dev/hda"  and "fdisk -l /dev/hdb" report "normal" settings. Perhaps the partitioning is wrong (either by human error or by any kind of bug).
Comment 4 The Fallen 2003-04-28 12:10:41 UTC
all right there :/

Comment 5 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-28 12:14:51 UTC
please paste
a) mount
b) /etc/fstab
Comment 6 The Fallen 2003-04-28 14:29:39 UTC
{mount}

/dev/root on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)
none on /proc type proc (rw)

none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

{fstab}

# noatime turns of atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to 
# switch between notail and tail freely.

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). 
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
#  use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none			/dev/shm	tmpfs		defaults		0 0

Could you please add the output of "fdisk -l /dev/hda"?
Comment 8 The Fallen 2003-06-18 05:52:39 UTC
Sorry, i only have the information i posted coz of a very hard crash and a reinstallation. sry
Comment 9 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-18 06:01:05 UTC
So I think this is a case of CANTFIX
Comment 10 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-25 14:25:22 UTC
