I brought this up around noon today on IRC, but I guess everyone was out to lunch =). I've recently formatted my shiny new SATA drive as ReiserFS, to try out a few new filesystems out. Since it was a 200GB drive, and I plan to use it mostly for storing large files, I thought it might be a bit faster if I used a larger block size, I used 4096 (although I'm not sure what the default is, at the time I assumed it was 1024). If you're interested in specific hardware details, I've attached the output from the program lshw. Beware that it isn't entirely accurate; one part I've noticed that's wrong is the socket type on my CPU.
Anyways, my problem and reason for posting this is that I can't seem to store more than about 4 gigs on the drive. I can't create or move files to the drive. Example:
fdisk /dev/sda
What is the fs type and size of partition. From the looks of it, you prolly don't have a linux partition.
My backup server has 4 200g sata drives (3ware raid controller), and ReiserFS, never an issue with it. We use ReiserFS for all our servers, company and customer.
