hi

got three quick answers, all presuming that
newfs had not been done on main partition, but on minor ones.

i checked with disk supplier
(who had done the partitioning for us as part of their service)
and this was indeed so.

So, we redid the newfs operation, with success.

THANX TO...

I'd bet you ran newfs on /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s5 ??

It looks like someone newfs'd slice 5 instead of slice 2.  I'm guessing
you'll find filesystems on slices 6 and 7 also.

Kevin W. Thomas Sun System Administrator & Meteorologist National Severe Storms Laboratory Norman, Oklahoma --- >From guy@netapp.com Tue Feb 4 17:40:27 1997 Had you done a "newfs" on partition 2 before doing that?

Or had you, instead, done a "newfs" on partition 5?

If you'd done a "newfs" on partition 5, the file system is on partition 5, which has only 1.41GB and thus gives you a little less than 1.41GB of free space.

Partitions 2 and 5 both start at the beginning of the disk, so if you create a file system on partition 5 and then try to mount partition 2, it happens to work - but, as the file system was created on partition 5, not on partition 2, it only has as much space in it as partition 5 has.

To use partition 2 as a file system, you must unmount the file system on partitiion 2, and then do a "newfs" on partition 2. ----

>From Mike.Sullivan@Eng.Sun.COM Tue Feb 4 19:04:50 1997 Did you 'newfs' slice 2, or did you newfs slice 5? It looks like you newfs'd slice 5 (1.4 gig FS), then mounted slice2.

If you _really_ want to use the whole disk as a UFS filesystem, it would be good to at least remove the other partitions.

WITH ORIGINAL STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:

we have enterprise 3000 with 4GB internal disk with following partition table:

format c0t1d0 partition> print Current partition table (original): Total disk cylinders available: 3902 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 unassigned wm 0 - 3901 4.24GB (3902/0/0) 8884854 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 - 1295 1.41GB (1296/0/0) 2950992 6 unassigned wm 1296 - 2591 1.41GB (1296/0/0) 2950992 7 unassigned wm 2592 - 3901 1.42GB (1310/0/0) 2982870

but after mounting, with vfstab statement: /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 /W1 ufs 2 yes -

BUT...the df -k command produces:

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 1387350 1 1248619 1% /W1

where i expected the 4.24GB to show instead of the 1.387350 GB
