Harddisk Problem

[Lachlan]

On some hdd's there is an option on the jumper settings next to master and
slave. That for some reason, limits the size of the hdd. I don't know why
this option exists, but it does. Also, you never get 70GB out of a 70GB hdd.
Once again, i don't know why. It's just the way it is.


Regards,

Lachlan

Hello,

We just installed and mounted a 2nd HDD(secondary ide channel) on a
Dedicated Server on FreeBSD 4.8 and look what it gives:

] df

/dev/ad0s1a  2015918  52114 1802532   3%  /

] cat /etc/fstab

/dev/ad0s1f             /usr            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/ad0s1e             /var            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/acd0c              /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
proc                    /proc           procfs  rw              0       0
/dev/ad2s1e             /drive2         ufs     rw              2       2

The problem is that from 73GB (80gb hdd) it only sees free 68GB.

How can i check if it has bad sectors? A friend suggested me low-level
format but I never done that before under unix.

Also, do i need to be in single-user (I dont have physical access, only
remote root via ssh).


Thank you.
