    I checked with Dell specifications For mu Optiplex GX270 and found out
    that my motherboard supports hard disk of 160Gb capacity.
    This way I managed to exclude a motherboard/bios problem preventing the
    complete reading of the drive.
    The problem is most certainly then with the operating system not
    supporting this drive fully.
    One question: Am I likely to incur any data loss or other problems if I
    leave the hard disk recognized as 130GB as it is?

    Thanks

    I ran /sbin/mke2fs -m /dev/hda1 and this is the output I got:

    [root@localhost mirco]# /sbin/mke2fs -m /dev/hda1
    mke2fs: invalid reserved blocks percent - /dev/hda1

    What does that mean?

    hello guys,
    I just purchased a brand new maxtor 160Gb harddrive where I installed
    fedora core 4 and the drive was fully recognized by anaconda during
    installation as a 160Gb.
    Installation went all ok but when I first logged in to my account and
    checked the available space on disk i noticed that strangely the space
    available was only 135Gb meaning that approx 30Gb were not counted in.
    I then upgraded to kernel 2.6.13.1-1532.FC4 hoping to regain the missing
    space but still no sign of it.
    I therefore installed QTPArted and checked what the situation was and
    funny enough the LVM on qtparted is recognized as 160Gb.
    I also have a 40Gb external HD connected via USB which is fully
    recognized.

    What has happened to the remaining 30GB on the MAxtor HD?

    Thanks
