Yup it all formats "as normal" no issues at all, everything works fine, fdisk /dev/sdb creating a partition setting it's type, saving/writing, then mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 works as well, again no issues.. goes through and formats without any hiccups...
I just can't mount it once it's formatted... nas# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt mount: Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: No such device no errors in messages or syslog etc.... could it be a busybox thing... *shrug* -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Steinkuehler Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2007 10:02 AM To: Adam Niedzwiedzki Cc: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [leaf-user] HighPoint RocketRAID 174x (need help in formating/mounting the RAID) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Adam Niedzwiedzki wrote: > Hi Charles, > > The issue is it's not actually mounting at all.. > nas# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt > mount: Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /mnt failed: No such device Ah...that was unclear from your previous post. It sounds like either the kernel isn't finding partitions on the device, or they're not supported by the HighPoint driver. I've never used the HighPoint devices, so I can't help much. You could see if you could get the kernel to see partitions (perhaps by forcibly re-scanning the SCSI devices?), or just format the whole device (ie: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb). One question: If the /dev/sdb1 device isn't there, what happened when you tried to format it (ie: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1)? IIRC you indicated that worked as expected... - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHVy34LywbqEHdNFwRAu7CAJ9XUFWEWFbaMPb/8LwRp9B6D5LKDgCfei/K 0oWK9D4FeMZC2KuPP+QrU2E= =6aPF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
