Share folder size only using portion of hard drive with Slackware 14.1
by henry10 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CW8D)
Hey everyone, hope all is well and keeping safe.
I tried searching for this online but do not know how to word it correctly to get an answer so sorry if this has been asked already.
I have a pc with two hard drives. The first one has the Slackware 14.1 software on it. The second one, is a 1TB hard drive, one partition, ext3, and has a share folder on it.
For some reason the share folder size is limited to 400GB. It does not use the entire 1TB hard drive. When viewing Properties of the shared folder, it would for example say 363GB used, 33GB free, 91% full.
When you copy files to that folder, at some stage, it will say there is not enough space. You then have to remove files from the folder to "free up more space" before you can copy to it again.
What do I have to change or do so that the share folder uses the entire drive and not just a portion of it?
Thanks in advance.
