Hello
Since AstLinux only uses 60MB out of the 1GB card, I tried creating a new
partition next to it:
========
# mount -o rw,remount /
# fdisk /dev/hda
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 2
First cylinder (131-1986, default 131):

Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (131-1986, default 1986): 400
Command (m for help): p

/dev/hda2 131 400 136080 83 Linux
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or

The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.

# mount /dev/hda2 /tmp/new_part
mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /tmp/new_part failed: Invalid argument
======== let's try in the / filesystem ===============
# mount -o rw,remount /
# mkdir /mnt/new_part
# mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/new_part/
mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /mnt/new_part/ failed: Invalid argument
# mount -o ro,remount /
# mount -t ext2fs /dev/hda2 /tmp/new_part/
mount: Mounting /dev/hda2 on /tmp/new_part/ failed: No such device
========
Google didn't return much about why mount can fail with "No such device".
Does someone have a clue why AstLinux ain't happy?
Thank you.
