My aim: I want to set up my machine as a server with the web directory in a partition that spans a 200 GB WD-HD (/dev/hdd1). I've got the OS and swap partitions, etc., on a 40 GB Fujitsu HD (/dev/hdc1, /dev/hdc2, etc.).
My problem: When I write to /mnt/hdd1 (using FTP over SSH or Samba or whatever), the FTP client shows the written files as being written to /mnt/hdd1, BUT THEY'RE NOT REALLY BEING WRITTEN TO THAT PHYSICAL DRIVE (I think), because the /mnt/hdc1 partition gets filled up as I write the files. I "watch" this happening from the command line using #df, which shows that more and more space on /hdc1 is being used ... right up until it fills up.
How can I fix this and ensure that I can write to my 200 GB partition on /dev/hdd1?
There's a ton of other moves I've tried, and data I've gathered; but I won't post it all here unless I learn that it's relevant.
Thanks!
