Why does my Fedora HD come up as 124GB when it was created to be 700GB in Hyper-V?

  • 772

Any ideas? How can I tell fedora to use 700GB, and do I have reformat to do this?

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_computer-lv_root
                      124G  3.9G  114G   4% /
/dev/sda1             194M   23M  162M  12% /boot
tmpfs                 995M  320K  994M   1% /dev/shm

    Your disk is a Dynamically expanding disk right?

    There is a limit of 127G for this type of disk. More details here

  2. Hyper V 2008 R2 addresses this issue to use 48-bit LBA making max size of hard drive 2 TB. Unfortunately some Linux distro's are not seeing it. The Linux Integrated Components may help but I am not sure. I am interested in proceeding in the direction you have by using LVM with a bunch of drives (maybe even using the SCSI controller, which does see the entire 2 TB).
