I discovered this the hard way. I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature. Lets say you have a partition that has been formated for resier - e.g., mkreiserfs /dev/hdc6 Now you decide to make it an XFS partition - mkfs.xfs -f /dev/hdc6. XFS will tell you it formatted a new XFS file system. Now mount /dev/hdc6 /mnt/xxx. Shozbot, Lo and Behold, it's still a resier partion!!! The only way I've found to get around this quirk is to format the partition with mke2fs /dev/hdc6 before using mkfs.xfs -f /dev/hdc6. Someone smarter than I can probably explain this. -- Collins Richey Denver Area jblinux 2.2 xfce sylpheed opera _______________________________________________ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc ->http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
