when I first got my hard drive (can't remember the capacity. probably a 9G or 13G), I partitioned it as the following 3 primary (200M) each. hde1, hde2, hde3 3 logical after that, for /home, /usr , and one I used to play vmware wiht and I left the rest of the free space there... hde6, hde7, hde8 are those 3 logical partition. the other day, I decided to utilize the free space, so I cut them into 2G, 2G, 1G, with hde9, hde10, hde11 respectively. then mkfs. however, I can only mount 1 of those logical drive. say if I mounted hde9, when I try to mount hde10, it'll tell me that the drive has been mounted..so I copy a file to hde9, unmount hde9, mount hde10, copy another file to hde10. umount. then if I mount either 9 or 10, I see the 2 different files, respectively. (just can't mount both at the same time). but today, after machine went down due to power lost, something weird is happening..no matter what I try to mount, hde9 or hde10, it'll mount hde9. so I was wondering if the partition table has beeen mess up or what. ( I did reboot after I make those free space into new partitions). if so, any good tool to fix it? I would like to keep hde1-8. anything after 9 is not that important to me... thanks for your advice.. -- ~ Experience the power of the Penguin 'v' _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ // \ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ /( )\ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ ^`~'^ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
