Hi, I am partitioning and formating an external HDD. I made a stupid mistake, I called "mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0" before calling "fdisk /dev/md0". Now it seems that the process stopped at following last line "Writing inode tables: 14/1864":
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0 mke2fs 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 30539776 inodes, 61049134 blocks 3052456 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=0 1864 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872 Writing inode tables: 14/1864 What should I do now? Will I abort the process it by Ctr-C damange the HDD? Thank you. Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
