Hi,

I tried this and it produced the following results (I probably did something wrong):



Starting bash.
empeg:/empeg/bin# cd ../..
empeg:/# cd drive1
empeg:/drive1# ls -la
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 1024 Jun 2 1999 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 502 220 1024 Nov 24 13:28 ..
empeg:/drive1# cd ..
empeg:/# mke2fs /dev/sdb
mke2fs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Could not stat /dev/sdb --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
empeg:/# mke2fs /dev/hdb
mke2fs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Could not stat /dev/hdb --- No such file or directory

The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
empeg:/# mke2fs /dev/hdc
mke2fs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/hdc is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/
hdc is mounted.
mke2fs: Device not configured while trying to determine filesystem size
empeg:/#


I tried to show that drive1 was blank. Then I tried the mke2fs command on sdb, it wasn't able to find it. Then on hdb, then it hdc (which it found). It doesn't look like it was mounted (no file system of course)?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ross
