Dashboard partition size not matching disk sizes

[ynnek63]

So I've setup a headless Amahi install using the Express CD, and just used all the defaults during the install. My system has 3 disks. One is a 160GB hd that the system is installed on and the other two disks are 2TB each. All drives are SATA Everything went fine during the install, but in the Amahi dashboard, the partition size is listed as 1.8TB. If I click on the disks link, all three drives are listed. What gives? Where is the other 1.8TB

These are my results when I use hda-diskmount:

****************************************************************
Ignoring /dev/sda1 - already mounted
Ignoring /dev/sda1 - already in /etc/fstab as UUID=018e940e-dcc8-4f84-bb0b-4b75906f2484
****************************************************************
Ignoring /dev/sdb1 - already mounted
Ignoring /dev/sdb1 - already in /etc/fstab as UUID=d6ec3b50-8241-4064-9b4e-ac6e4282e720
****************************************************************
No usable Linux, Windows or Mac partitions found on your disks.

So, sda and sdb are showing up but no sdc.
sdc does show up on the dashboard. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Did you follow the guidance in the wiki for adding a second hard drive? It appears that it is not mounted, therefore will not reflect as available storage.

Hi,

strange. Showing a disk at the dashbord but not on the OS-Level couldn't be (ok, we're talking about hardware so everything is possible).
Does it shows up if you run blkid as root (su blkid) from the shell?

Have you manually edit yout fstab?
Be sure not to mount both drives (the 2 TB ones) on the same location!

And if you are wondering why a 2 TB drives shows up only as 1.8 TB.... That's marketing and nothing to worry about. It depends how you define a GByte and TByte.
1 GByte could be 1000 MByte or 1024 MByte. Depend on if you work in the marketing department or are a tekki

No, I haven't tried this yet. I do plan on it, but when I did the initial install, all three drives were connected and showed up during the install.

I may actually do a reinstall since I really haven't really started putting the server to use.

Here is the out put from blkid:


[root@localhost ~]# blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="018e940e-dcc8-4f84-bb0b-4b75906f2484" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="d6ec3b50-8241-4064-9b4e-ac6e4282e720" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sdc1: UUID="3ec83e36-f62d-4dcb-a2a2-4f86e300fd27" TYPE="swap"
[root@localhost ~]#

LOL!!! WTF?! I just noticed that it is using my whole 2TB drive as the swap!!!! A 2 TB swap!!! lol!! Well, that solves that problem!! jeeeze....feeling really stupid now!

That's what I get for using defaults during the install and not paying attention!

My humble apologies for wasting your time, but also great thanks because we did solve my issue!
Please overlook my noobness.

Yes that does solve the problem. It is best to install the OS and Amahi with only one drive connected. Add the other two afterwards and run the hda-diskmount script. This will ensure they are added as you desire for storage.
