Mates, I needed to wipe /dev/hdb and start over. What I did was to: umount /data fdisk /dev/hdb (delete old partitions and added new partition to use whole disk) mkfs.reiserfs then rebooted Now df reports: skyline:~ # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 19526404 8610112 10916292 45% / tmpfs 127948 0 127948 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdb1 514028 32840 481188 7% /data The weird part is hda and hdb are exactly the same size. Where did I go wrong?? Do I need to fdisk, then reboot, then mkfs.reiserfs?? Does it make a difference?? fstab is as follows: skyline:~ # cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 #/dev/hdb1 /data reiserfs defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 -- David C.
