Partitioning a new hard drive
I partitioned a second hard drive with two partitions, hdc1 and hdc2. Now I assume I need to create a file system. I'm trying to use ext3. I was able to use the following command for hdc1:
#mkfs -t ext2 -j /dev/hdc1
When I tried the same statement with hdc2, the second half of the drive, I got the following message:
# mkfs -t ext2 -j /dev/hdc2
mke2fs 1.34 (25-Jul-2003)
/dev/hdc2: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up superblock
What the heck does that mean? Am I not able to use the same mkfs statement to set up ext3 in the second partition of that drive?
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Mike
