Any Help Appreciated - Partitioning

[BGFG]

Hi All, as my screenshot indicates, I have a 207 gig media dump
and sda1,2,5 and 6 are my Debian installation. But to the left in Places, part of Debian ext3 and the dump are being recognised as a 222gig single entity that is read-only. How can i remedy ? Please take a look at my outputs.

I think Nautilus recognizes your entire sda disk, but since it is not (entirely) mouted, it just put the total disk size in Places view.

Maybe you could try to mount your partiton in fstab like you do with sdb1. For instance like:

/dev/sda3 /media/dump ext3 defaults 0 0
I'd expect a "dump" to see in your Places then, of 207 GB.

EDIT: Attached drives that are not mounted in fstab seem to show up in Places with just the full size. I have the same with one partition of my drive that I don't mount. If you don't like that you can (in your case) remove it with:

sudo umount /media/disk-2

Hey Average Joe,
Thanks for all your help, I afraid to say though that frustration set in and i formatted the whole drive. This however did not solve my problem. :)
I ended up using this :


sudo chown reyn:reyn /media/disk-2


To finally take ownership of the drive. Now i'm left to wonder if this would have worked in the first place.
I don't regret losing my Debian Installation though. My primary reason for Dualbooting was in case of catastrophe, i could still boot into another stsyem and recover or access the net and needed.
This is not a big concern anymore because i have these:
Hardy Heron
Intrepid Ibex
Knoppix (dvd)
Open Solaris
Mandriva
and of course Debian
(All live Cd's) :)
So i'm pretty confident i'm disaster recoverable....

Thanks again Man...
