HI, I have a Dell 1400 intel-based server with 2 slots of 9 Gig hard drive. I installed Redhat Linux 7.0 on this server and used the automatic disk partitioning option during installation. When I checked the size of the hard disk using the "df" command, I only saw 9 Gig instead of 18 Gig. I think the Linux installation only used the first 9 Gig disk slot. My questions are: 1) How can I check the total size of my hard disk in Redhat Linux? I know about the df command, is there another way? Is the df command the proper way to check the size of a hard disk in Linux? 2) How can I get Linux to use the entire hard disk space (18 Gig) short of re-installing and selecting the manually partitioning option - this is something I just thought of but it seems too drastic, there must surely be another way! 3) How can I control which directories are mounted on different partitions e.g /u01 on a different partition to /u02 e.t.c? I am planning to use this box as a database server but need to be able to control the size of the partitions so that I can decide which datafiles resides on which partitions. Don't hold back even if your solution requires re-installation or starting all over again. Please let me know if you have any ideas!
