Hi Ben, following things: logged in via gdm as user into gnome opend a gnome-terminal typed 'su -' then 'fdisk /dev/hdb' typed 'o' (kernel does handle it) maked some partitions: /dev/hdb1 1 10403 5243080+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 10404 14516 2072952 83 Linux /dev/hdb3 14517 17637 1572984 83 Linux /dev/hdb4 17638 77545 30193632 83 Linux then if I type mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1 it says: 'File size limit exceeded' if I type mke2fs -j /dev/hdb3 everything goes fine same behavior with sun disclabel if i type 'ulimit -c unlimited' it says after mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1 'File size limit exceeded (core dumped)' any hints? regards -- Hakan Kuecuekyilmaz, presently intern at Tecnomatix Technologies Germany | Tel: +49 711 1389- 257 Mittlerer Pfad 9 | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 70 499 Stuttgart | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Studenten, Absolventen und Young Professionals <http://www.c-cn.de>
