I added a new hdd to my Redhat Oracle test box running 9.0. Its just an extra 4.5gb hdd for space. I mounted the drive no problem. When I do a df -h and view the size of the drive it says 
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2             8.6G  7.6G  584M  93% /
/dev/hda1              99M  9.0M   85M  10% /boot
none                  153M     0  153M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb1              99M   38M   57M  40% /mnt/drive2

I did a fdisk -l /dev/hdb1 and get:
 Disk /dev/hdb1: 106 MB, 106896384 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
 
Disk /dev/hdb1 doesn't contain a valid partition table

I cant figure out why the hdd space is so low and it says Disk /dev/hdb1 doesn't contain a valid partition table Do I need to reformat the hdd again? My /etc/fstab file is: 

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/hdb1               /mnt/drive2             ext3    defaults        2 1
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
 Any help would be appreciated thanks!
