[juneau-lug] Re: Space Available on Hard Drive

Thanks, Sean.

Just what I was looking for.

Now, is there a limit to the size of a hard drive that linux will see?

I installed a 10.2 Gig hard drive on Red Hat 7.1  Fdisk seemed to give me a
partition that was by default 8 Gig in size.  And a second partition at a
little over 2 Gig.  Where these sized chosen to make best use of the cluster
size?

Most of what I am saving on this hard drive at LARGE audio files.  Would it
be possible to specify a larger cluster size to get more total available
space?

I'm thinking that if I were to install a 30 or 60 Gig hard drive, and I
would want to see the whole thing as one drive, but if most of the files are
huge files 1 Meg and larger, then it might not matter that a cluster
represents a major chunk of landscape.

'df'

(1739)
[bdk@Osok:~] (44.035mb) $ df
Filesystem         1024-blocks  Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2            1981000  740650  1137936     39%   /
/dev/hda3            1981000  897799   980787     48%   /usr

[bdk@Osok:~] (44.035mb) $

it'll look something like that.
