Check the partitions with fdisk "fdisk -l /dev/hda" To format /dev/hda1 with a ext3 filesystem, use "mke2fs -j /dev/hda1". Hope this help. I file a bug for phoebe but i don't reply (no enough time, sorry) : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80494 I see the same problem with severn. fdisk -l /dev/hda (output from RH9). Disk /dev/hda: 20.5 GB, 20520493056 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2494 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 6 40792+ 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. <======== /dev/hda2 * 6 135 1038744 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. <======== /dev/hda3 135 2446 18566856 83 Linux /dev/hda4 2446 2479 265104 82 Linux swap Everything was clean before the installation of severn on /dev/md0 (raid0, /dev/hde2, /dev/hdg2). Currently, i can't re-run fdisk on my /dev/hda disk (not enough backup capability :-)). > Felix > _______________________________________ > > http://www.apropo.ro > > > > -- > Rhl-list mailing list > Rhl-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhl-list -- Féliciano Matias <feliciano.matias@xxxxxxx>
