Topic: raid: strange disk size

[Haj]

I have 2 80GB hard drive used for RAID1 mirroring.
They were new unformated hard drive when I have installed sme5.6 whith raid1 on them.

[root@e-smith root]# df -a -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1               37G   19G   17G  52% /
none                     0     0     0   -  /proc
/dev/md0               99M  8.6M   85M  10% /boot
none                     0     0     0   -  /dev/pts
none                  188M     0  188M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdd6              28G  8.5G   18G  33% /mnt/hdd
/mnt/hdd/Ibays/mp3     28G  8.5G   18G  33% /home/e-smith/files/ibays/mp3/html

Why do I have 37G instead of 80G ??

This could be a BIOS limitation, does your BIOS see the drive as a full 80GB?

Hope this helped,
