I have two disks installed on my ubuntu dapper machine. Each is 250GB. But only one of them appears to be mounted and usable.

root@weasel:/var/log# df -kh
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root
                      224G   87G  125G  42% /

varlock              1007M  4.0K 1007M   1% /var/lock
udev                 1007M  108K 1007M   1% /dev
devshm               1007M     0 1007M   0% /dev/shm
lrm                  1007M   22M  986M   3% /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-amd64-k8/volatile
/dev/sda1             228M  102M  115M  48% /boot

Logical volume manager (LVM) has something to do with this.
