About Those Ubuntu Mini 9 Hard Drive Partitions Anne B. Camden_October.20.2008_3:58 pm Heads up that the manager of our Linux OS engineering team, John Hull, just posted an update over on Direct2Dell concerning 8GB and 16GB hard drives on the Ubuntu version of the Mini 9. Customers pointed out that the hard drives on these Mini configurations were not fully formatted — which basically means the device thought there was a 4GB hard drive inside instead of 8GB or 16GB. The good news is it’s fixable as John details in his post.
