RAID issues
Hi we have a centOS server running XEN. My problem is that there is 3*500gig HHDs in RAID 5 config. but when I do a df -H I get this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Vol00-SysRoot 51G 30G 19G 62% /
/dev/hda1 255M 18M 225M 8% /boot
/dev/hdb1 255M 6.4M 236M 3% /boot2
/dev/hdc1 255M 6.4M 236M 3% /boot3
tmpfs 4.2G 0 4.2G 0% /dev/shm.
as you can see there is only 50 gig, which is not enough.
The Server was installed by someone else, along with the XEN. Is there something I am missing? because to my knowledge there must be 1TB available.
Please assist.

My guess is that the RAID is under LVM and only part of it has been used for the root file system. Go to Administration -> LVM (Logical Volume Management) and see. You need the root password, but it will give you a GUI to manage and reconfigure the space available. FWIW, since you only have 3 drives in a RAID-5 configuration (not optimal), you will only have the space of 2 drives to use - 1TB.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
