Hi again,
Well forget it, I finally could get this partition to format and mount, I had to repeat
the
operation several time thought.
Lately here is what I did:
1) delete + recreate the partition as SVR2 under MacOS with pdisk
2) Go back under 8.2, open diskdrake, it is recognized as an ext2 partition but
unmountable...
3) Simply did a format with diskdrake at that point and it worked out...
What buzzed me is that usually after the first step I could get the additional ext2
partition right away under linux, well no big deal...
ThanX
