Sorry for the newbie Q guys, but I'm stumped. Installed image on DUO a few weeks ago but haven't been toying with it since. Have a 1,5TB disk in the box, but when I was about to ftp/transfer a couple of archive items, I found out the /media/hdd is only about a hundred MB.
fdisk -l shows nothing
"mount" shows

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type jffs2 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/mtdblock2 on /boot type jffs2 (ro)
tmpfs on /var type tmpfs (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)


cat /etc/fstab
rootfs / auto defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
/dev/mtdblock2 /boot jffs2 ro 0 0
tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs mode=0777 0 0
#/dev/discs/disc0/part1 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /media/hdd auto defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb auto defaults 0 0


ls /dev/s*
/dev/sci0 /dev/sndstat /dev/stdin
/dev/sci1 /dev/stderr /dev/stdout

The obvious question is: where is the rest of the disc (fdisk partition) and how do I mount it?...

Your 1.5TB drive isn't mounted or you would see it listed in the output from the mount command. If there is no disk mounted, then /media/hdd is just a folder in flash - this is why it only appears as a few hundred MB.

How you mount it depends on which image you have installed, Vix, Dream-elite, etc.

assuming you are on vix go to menu, setup, vix, device manager. then press red mountpoints and mount hdd to /media/hdd and save and exit restart

then go again menu, setup, system, hardisk, inisialise. save exit restart

then you will have your drive mounted and formated and able to see it in /media/hdd

if your not on vix then its still same once you get to device manager.
