Hi Folks ! The 20Gb disk of my SUN Ultra 5 machine with Debian unstable is not completely used, so I run fdisk /dev/hda and p command receiving:
-------------------------------------------------------------- Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 63 sectors, 39535 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 0 9688 4882752 1 Boot /dev/hda3 0 39535 19925640 5 Whole disk -------------------------------------------------------------- Then I create a third partition in this way: -------------------------------------------------------------- Disk /dev/hda (Sun disk label): 16 heads, 63 sectors, 39535 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 0 9688 4882752 1 Boot /dev/hda2 9688 19376 4882752 83 Linux native /dev/hda3 0 39535 19925640 5 Whole disk -------------------------------------------------------------- N.B. I followed the reccomendation to set the type of the third disk to 'Whole disk'. Then I run w command to write onto the partition table and I receive: -------------------------------------------------------------- The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Re-read table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. Reboot your system to ensure the partition table is updated. Syncing disks. -------------------------------------------------------------- I can format and mount my new partition, and put data on it. But after the reboot, the new partition disappears! Why all new partitions added manualy after Debian install time always disappear after reboot ? Thank you in advance.
