df -h doesn't reveal the whole HDD allocated

[Adam]

Hi all,

I just did another installation on VirtualBox.
HDD Space allocated is 30 GB. The information is displayed correctly in fdisk -l, but not in df -h

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 32.2 GB, 32212254720 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3916 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks  Id System
/dev/sda1   *           1          24      192748+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2   *          25         146      979965  82 Linux swap
/dev/sda3             147        3917    30284535   5 Extended
/dev/sda5             147        3917    30284503+ 83 Linux
tc@box:~$

I can only see sda1, but not sda2,3 & 5 in df -h

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ df -h

tc@box:~$
Please let me know how to fix this issue. Thanks

Hi Adam
Look closer. The output of  df -h  is showing the size of  sda1. The output of  fdisk -l  shows a 32 GB drive (sda) with  sda5
sized at  30 GB. If  sda5  is not mounted, it won't show up in  df -h.
