Wrong NAS disk size

[1HzCoder]

Greetings,
I used this tutorial to set up one of my Pis as a NAS http://elinux.org/R-Pi_NAS, which worked fine, except the 160gb usb hdd I used shows up as disk1(\\RASPBERRYPI\public) with a size of 2.83 Gb. Needles to say Windows refuses to copy anything bigger than that over. I have checked my typing, especially in all the nano sessions to make sure it isn't a typo or i forgot a step. I know it is some simple mistake I am not seeing. I can post any of the full files if I need to, but the NAS Pi is running headless and I am not to good with that setup yet, so Ill need to hook it back up to TV & keyboard.

Can you run the commands fdisk -l and df -h and paste the output ?

[1HzCoder]

SirLagz,
fdisk -l just returns the options list, tried fdisk -l sda1 just got back the command prompt.
Here are df -h and cat /proc/partitions results. Hopre they help.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 2.9G 2.3G 427M 85% /
/dev/root 2.9G 2.3G 427M 85% /

tmpfs 37M 0 37M 0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 51M 19M 33M 37% /boot

and
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

179 0 3870720 mmcblk0
179 1 52224 mmcblk0p1
179 2 3018752 mmcblk0p2
8 0 117220824 sda
8 1 117218304 sda1


Maybe i need to link /home/shares/public/disk1 to sda1 somehow?. or mount sda0 & 1 there?
Thanks

[SirLagz]

mount sda0 & 1 there?
TomJ

Bingo.

You need to mount sda1 to somewhere...

fdisk should be able to list the partitions on the external hard drive...

fdisk should be able to list the partitions on the external hard drive...

You'll probably need to use 'sudo fdisk -l'

Gr.
Dirk.

[SirLagz]

lol. I work as root so much that I keep forgetting sudo =/

[1HzCoder]

Sorry for the delay, fell asleep.
Results fdisk

OK , I had put this line in my .etc/fstab file: /dev/sda1 /home/shares/public/disk1 auto noatime 0 0
I thought that would mount it automatically, but I can see from the fdisk and df results it isn't.
How can I force it to mount to disk1 when it boots?
I manually mounted it there and df -h shows it , but it doesn't get any larger in Wndows7, still the size of /root on the pi. Tried re-mapping the drive in Windows, still small.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all for the help so far, at least I know what my problem is.

edit:
From reading other posts, could the problem be that the disk is formatted as ext4 instead of NTFS?
I was trying to use ext4 because of a lot of posts saying it was faster.

OK used Simonthepimans instructions from this post http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... =27&t=8657
sda1 now mounts automatically on reboot at /home/shares/public/disk1, df -h says 111Gb (I was wrong on size of ext hdd), but windows still can't see the external disk. Tried re-mapping the drive again, no change.
Maybe map to a subdirectory on disk1?
A-a-argh, I know this is simple, I guess I am just dumber than I thought.
I set up a samba share on redhat linux back around 2000, thought I could do it again.
