Hi, I have two hard disks hda and hdc.
The partition sizes are as follows according to cfdisk. Disk Drive: /dev/hda Size: 80026361856 bytes, 80.0 GB Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 9729 Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hda1 Primary Linux 1998.75 hda2 Primary Linux ext3 [/boot] 246.76 hda3 Primary Linux XFS [/] 1003.49 hda5 Logical Linux XFS [/usr] 5000.98 hda6 Logical Linux XFS [/home] 1003.49 hda7 Logical Linux XFS [/tmp] 1998.75 hda8 Logical Linux XFS [/var] 68771.57 Disk Drive: /dev/hdc Size: 80026361856 bytes, 80.0 GB Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 9729 Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ hdc1 Primary Linux 1998.75 hdc2 Primary Linux ext3 [/boot] 246.76 hdc3 Primary Linux XFS [/] 1003.49 hdc5 Logical Linux XFS [/usr] 5000.98 hdc6 Logical Linux XFS [/home] 1003.49 hdc7 Logical Linux XFS [/tmp] 1998.75 hdc8 Logical Linux XFS [/var] 68771.57 hda8 and hdc8 are on software raid mirror /dev/md6 ~# cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf DEVICE partitions ARRAY /dev/md6 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=f6debdab:76d34e2d:7e8db578:e8db3dc4 devices=/dev/hda8,/dev/hdc8 ARRAY /dev/md5 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=d438c76c:d29c0811:0cfc052a:e0eed988 devices=/dev/hda7,/dev/hdc7 ARRAY /dev/md4 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=c37c568f:32c73928:49bed01e:9214483f devices=/dev/hda6,/dev/hdc6 ARRAY /dev/md3 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=c66cb3b4:59dc9f4b:c3da7513:05f2b354 devices=/dev/hda5,/dev/hdc5 ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=d3961694:ca8acacd:25036ae2:c51d61df devices=/dev/hda3,/dev/hdc3 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=8ba80739:86d98a6a:4a3e48f7:f0226209 devices=/dev/hda2,/dev/hdc2 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=906563d9:d4d4d5f0:2c0d34c4:290fe27e devices=/dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1 MAILADDR root but when I take the details of /dev/md6 with df it shows only 27 GB instead of 67GB ~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md2 953M 519M 435M 55% / tmpfs 237M 0 237M 0% /lib/init/rw tmpfs 237M 0 237M 0% /dev/shm /dev/md1 221M 11M 199M 6% /boot /dev/md4 953M 39M 914M 5% /home /dev/md5 1.9G 1.6M 1.9G 1% /tmp /dev/md3 4.7G 1.1G 3.7G 23% /usr /dev/md6 27G 23G 4.3G 85% /var Why is this?
