4.2 not reporting correct disk size

[Bruce Ballou]

 

Hello,

 

I am green with FreeBSD, but I have a system (ver 4.2) which I can not
update right now, but I am connected to a StoreVault data storage device
which has a 2.2T disk, so it is showing up as to large to save data to.

 

df -h shows the following

 

Filesystem
Size        Used       Avail     Capacity  Mounted on

10.9.1.15:/vol/exports/lsdist/1-storage   222G      -715.7G   937G
-323%        /storage/1

 

I need to patch this until I can update the system, any pointers to
where (if there is one) to get the patch for this, and installation
instructions.

 

Any help will be greatly apprecieated.

 

 

 

Thanx,

 

Bruce Ballou

This really isn't the right mailing list to ask in.  You really do need
to ask in an appropriate mailing list, maybe freebsd-stable, because I
suspect that not many people exist who can provide a positive answer to
this particular question, and I think it very unlikely that one of them
is lurking here.

Wrong list to ask on really. Better try maybe questions@ or hackers@, but

if you really are so far out of date as to be way back on FreeBSD-4.2,
I'd suggest:
        download a CDROM copy of FreeBSD-6.4 or 7.0 & install
        that on a spare test partition/ disc.

        if you'r afraid too much may have changed on 5.* 6.* & 7.*
        & worried about driver compatability & ancient binaries etc,
        then at least upgrade to 4.11-RELEASE,
        which is also now Not supported, but a lot newer than 4.2.

I guess your could go digging in CVS repository to see what file
system limits were increased on what when, but I think 4.2 is too
old to interest many unpaid enthusiasts.  If this is a commercial
service machine, you could pay a freelance consultant to help you,
I have a geographically indexed world wide list here:

Cheers,
