mount/partition problems

hey, using redhat 9 from the console, no control panel, clean install.

I put in the 2nd harddrive im trying to mount as /backup but instead of going the full 40gb it only gives it 1gb.

/etc/fstab entry:
/dev/hdb1 /backup ext3 defaults 2 2

/etc/mtab entry:
/dev/hdb1 /backup ext3 rw 0 0

when I put in the mtab entry manually and run df it shows the full 40gb assigned, but on reboot it reverts to the 1gb.

df output on boot:

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted
/dev/hda3 35341736 1143696 32402780 4% /
/dev/hda1 101089 9118 86752 10% /boot
none 507380 0 507380 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb1 99043 7989 85940 9% /backup


df output on manual mtab entry:

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted
/dev/hda3 35341736 1143696 32402780 4% /
/dev/hda1 101089 9118 86752 10% /boot
none 507380 0 507380 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb1 35341736 1143696 32402780 4% /backup


any help is appreciated.
