Hi All,
I have the following partition:
/dev/hda1 FAT (Win) /dev/hda2 swap /dev/hda3 Linux
I want to convert FAT partition (hda1) to a Linux partition but everytime I do an fdisk it shows me the following error.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or
resource busy
The partition table hasn't been updated. This is due to the fact that you have partitions in use on hda. All you need is a reboot to update the partition table.
These are the steps I did:
1. unmount /dev/hda1 2. delete /dev/hda1 3. create a new partition for /dev/hda1 4. while writing it shows the above error
other method:
1. boot on linux rescue 2. do steps 2 - 4 above.
But still no success.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
All you really need to do is mke2fs the partition. `mke2fs -j /dev/hda1`
PS- You should also toggle the partition to linux. (t, 1, 83)
