I type in 'df' to see what it reports as free space but the new partition I
created (/dev/sda2) isn't listed. I then typoe in 'df /dev/sda2' and it
says the filesystem is udev. Some questions: what do they mean by udev? and
Why isn't it listed as /dev/sda2? Also, how should I get it to list
properly? Does this perhaps mean I should reboot?
