thereis only one second that smoothwall formated my hda, (i hope so) but while i'am watching that mk2fs with linux is so fast even on the large space, i think the data can't be deleted so fast,
i don't remember exactly size of my each partition,
now my hda look like this
cfdisk 2.10f
Disk Drive: /dev/hda
Size: 10262568960 bytes
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 1247
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hda1 NC Primary Linux swap 24.68
hda2 Boot Primary Linux 10232.25
but when i mount hda2, errors shows up
lewi:~# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda2 /mnt/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
or too many mounted file systems
i have formatted all partition on hda with ext3
what i can do now? if i dont remember it exactly.
where i can find information about this?
