I've just done my home computer with a dual boot (using grub) for Redhat 9 and W2K. There is a 97GB partition that I'm hoping to be able to access with both systems. Right now I have formatted that to FAT32 using W2K utilities and W2K sees it just fine as the E drive. What's my next step if I w

2003-07-11 Thread James Miller
Well, I have another not-too-profound Linux inquiry - this time about configuring tune2fs (yes, this is for an older ext2 filesystem). I have a hard drive that's acting a bit punchy, and I'd like for the filesystem integrity to be checked quite a bit more frequently than usual: say, every 5 boots
