Hi;
When I think of disk partions, I shiverrrrrrrr. BUT, I need to make
use of disk space I know I have but need to make this safely. Please
adivse.
Following, is the result of fdisk -l:
=======================
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 14 3837 30716280 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 9473 9726 2040255 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda4 3838 9472 45263137+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 3838 8102 34258581 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
==========================================
[First] Does this mean that I have but one drive? (thought I had two.)
The system is recognizing only one drive. Whether you have two
installed you can tell only by opening up the case.
Now, based on the following output from df, I *think* that hda4 is
available for use.

No. As you have already found out.
You could get another volume out of hda4 from 8103 through 9472
inclusive, for another 5.6 GIG of space. Would another 5.6 GB
be of much use to you? Perhaps. You also have two cylinders
unallocted.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
