You upgraded e2fsprogs to 1.19 in the meantime. > Ok, I have a free partition (/dev/hda7 in Linux), which size is > reported by 'df' as 957MB. I formated it with 'mke2fs -o hurd > /dev/hda7' Please use "-O none" or "-O sparse_super", nd your problems will disappear. The filetype feature is not really supported on the Hurd (although we can ignore it quite well :), and newer e2fsck get really annoyed by it. You can also run "e2fsck -y /dev/hda7" and get the filetype removed afterwards. BTW, this time I was able to guess your problem. Next time please provide all the necessary information, for example the exact error message of e2fsck (it actually tells you about the filetype). Thanks, Marcus
