Confused disk space output

[samraat]

I'm a newbie... I restored the ubuntu partition from /dev/sda8 to /dev/sda1.... I removed windows partition and installed ubuntu on it. I formatted NTFS partition to reiserfs.

/dev/sda8 was of 8.8G -> It was in reiserfs
/dev/sda1 is 20+ G -> Partitioned to reiserfs

I was able to restore the partition but the "df -h" command shows 8.8 G only instead of 20+G also I cannot use the rest of the disk space.

Please help!!!!

Cool!

Googled and got the answer- use resize2fs_reiserfs /dev/sda1

fixed the issue!!

Hmm, cool. Have similiar problem. Guess you shouldn't expect reply on this forums. Resorting to a bigger partition is mentioned in FAQ and Documentation but... very briefly, imo it's to short.

Thanks to your post I have some trace that I guess should follow. May you please tell me exactly what command did you executed on this 20+G partition to be seen as 20+G?

Now I know, it's the command you wrote in last post in this topic. Thanks again.
