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. :-(
