I recently ran out of room on my 3 gig HD (hdb) and decided to cut out the
fat as it were on my 8.4 gig HD (hda) that I haven't booted up into for at
least a month. I went into fdisk, created a swap partition on hda1 & the
rest I made into a Linux Native partition as hda2. I then did a df just to
check it out and this is the bizarre result:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb2 2923729 2813967 0 100% /
/dev/hda2 2923729 2813967 0 100% /mnt/hda2
I have no idea what's going on here, but if somebody could help me figure it
out, then I'd really appreciate it considering I get a dozen or so messages
to /var/spool/mail/root telling my my system had trouble writing log files
because it ran out of space. I've freed up some as you can see, but I'd like
to get some more room.
Actually, I may have some clue. I forgot to format it and mounted /dev/hda2
on /mnt/hda1 (I had no hda2 directory). I got a segmentation fault, tried
again, and got it to mount. Then I remembered I hadn't formatted it,
umounted it, and did so. I was unable to mount it back on /mnt/hda1. I get:
mount: /dev/hda2 already mounted or /mnt/hda1 busy
Maybe that has something to do w/ it.
Oh, & did I mention my odd memory problem? Maybe I'll touch on that later.
