Disk Space

For some reason, when I try to save a file on my computer,  it says I've run out of hard disk space. This is completely impossible, my computer has two hard drives, one 80 GB HD which FreeBSD is installed on and one 40 GB HD formattedto the FreeBSD filesystem. There is nothing on either of them except the operating system.

  During installation, I partitioned the 80GB disk with one 80 GB partition and five subpartitions:

ad0s1a       128 MB     (/)
ad0s1b       432 MB (swap) 
ad0s1e        256 MB   (/var)
ad0s1f         256 MB     (/tmp)
ad0s1g        77087 MB     (/usr)



But if you use Konquerer to analyze the drives the following capacities are reported:

ad0s1a        1500 MB       (/)
ad0s1e         16.7 MB        (/var)
ad0s1f          12.8 MB        (/tmp)
ad0s1g         1300 MB        (/usr)

The second, 40GB drive (Primary IDE Slave) doesn't even show up in Konquerer. Ther e is 200 dollar's worth (117 GB!) of  disk space nowhere to be found.

I don't  have a clue what happened and I can't find anything about it in the FreeBSD handbook. Any help would be appreciated.
