only 8GB of 240GB partition aviable

biesmir · 2019-07-14 12:02:53

HI!

I have recently installed arch on my older laptop.

I made 3 partitions with dos partition table:
100M sda1 for boot
235GB sda2 for /
3.5GB sda3 for swap

Both fdisk and gparted says it is 235GB partition but baobab and df says it is 8.4GB disc and its almost full.

Is this issue related to dos partition table or is it due to wrong system configuration?

What command / tool did you use ?

As root run

# lsblk -f
# fdisk -l

and post output.

If you're unsure how to get those outputs on the internet, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes

Those values match a drive using 4K sectors aka Advanced Format .
Such drives often have big disadvantages when used with small files.

please post

dumpe2fs /dev/sda2 -h

2097152×4096÷(1024×1024×1024)=8

The filesystem is 8GB in size while the partition is 235GB. How did you create the filesystem?

biesmir · 2019-07-14 17:04:44

I believe it was

 mkfs.ex4 /dev/sda2

loqs · 2019-07-14 18:19:22

Please ensure you have a backup of all the data and that sda2 is not mounted then the following should expand the filesystem to fill the partition. Seem man resize2fs for more details.

resize2fs /dev/sda2

Thanks, it worked out

Did you use to have some ext4 partition there before?

yes, I had encrypted ext4 partition
It was about 230GB though
