RE: [cobalt-users] 20 gig drives are running (well), only one problem

Jale, to see the remainder of the disk drive you need to increase the
size of the file system.  Doing the dd copied over a file system with a
particular size.  You need to eventually do a "mkfs" creating a file
system the same size as the partition it is sitting on.  I think Gerald
posted the steps several days ago near the start of this thread.  mkfs
will destroy the file system, so you need to back up your file system,
not the partition, run mkfs to create the new file system of the proper
size, then restore the file system from backup.

Suggest any particular parameters, something like:

fsck -y /dev/hdb

-y or -f  been a lot of years since I ran once of these :)

Thanks,
