Hi, I'm having an irregular experience with mke2fs. I'm attempting to format /dev/sda16 and message says:
> debian# mke2fs -v /dev/sda16 > mke2fs 1.10, 24-Apr-97 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 > /dev/sda16 is entire device, not just one partition! > Proceed anyway? (y,n) But /dev/sda16 is just a 500MB partition, not an entire device: [..] /dev/sda4 147 147 527 3060382+ 5 Extended [..] /dev/sda16 463 463 527 522081 83 Linux native I tried changing the beginning and ending cylinders, to no avail. Why does mke2fs think /dev/sda16 is the entire drive? Thanks, David Stern -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
