Small problem with new harddrive [1]. It should be 200Gb, but it's
only showing 137.4Gb.
fdisk /dev/hdb1
shows this size.
having created a single primary partition from/to the suggested values
(1/17753), and formated with
mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1
and mounted the disk, df -m shows
129011 1M-blocks, 33 Used, 122426 Available
So, have I been sent a bad drive, or have I hit some bios limitation?
Or is there some trick to making the remaining ~60Gb appear?
thoughts?
