Is Linux running in a virtual machine, or on the physical hardware?
Assuming the latter, it's likely that the remaining ~450 GB is unpartitioned, depending on what options you selected during the installation.
You can check in fdisk, or the graphical palimpsest partitioning tool, if you prefer. You can create a new partition of the required size.
For example, here's an example where I've created a new partition of 5GB from unpartitioned space on /dev/sda, using fdisk:
Everything I typed is in red. You'll need to reboot to update the partition table.
Now run these commands, substituting volume, volume group, logical volume names and sizes for your own:
If Linux is running in a virtual machine, you should add a new hard disk, then run the same commands for (probably) /dev/sdb.

Hello,
in one default UFS filesystem we have 8K block size (bsize) and 1K fragmentsize (fsize). At this scenary I thought all "FileSytem IO" will be 8K (or greater) but never smaller than the fragment size (1K). If a UFS fragment/blocksize is allwasy several ADJACENTS sectors on disk (in a ... (4 Replies)
