I've just reshaped the partitions of my laptop hardisk removing a primary partition /dev/hda3 previously devoted to swap, making a bigger reiserfs /dev/hda3 and recreatring the swap partition that now is /dev/hda7. In a nutshell the partitioned hard disk is now:
Primary hda1 ->NTFS Logical hda5-> NTFS (D:) Logical hda6 -> Reiserfs (linux root) Logical hda 7 -> swap Primary hda3 -> Reiserfs Primary hda4 -> UFS2 (FreeBSD root) now it happens that bash-2.05b# mkswap /dev/hda7 /dev/hda7: No such file or directory and as a matter of fact: bash-2.05b# ls -al /dev/hda* lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 32 16 apr 16:24 /dev/hda -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 16 apr 16:24 /dev/hda1 -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 16 apr 16:24 /dev/hda2 -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 16 apr 16:24 /dev/hda3 -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 16 apr 16:24 /dev/hda5 -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 16 apr 16:24 /dev/hda6 -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 bash-2.05b# What should I do?
