Hi,
I want to format a unalloated partition in Mandriva linux.
[r...@localhost manimeh]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3
ke2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
mkfs.ext3: inode_size (128) * inodes_count (0) too big for a
filesystem with 0 blocks, specify higher inode_ratio (-i)
or lower inode count (-N).
*Please tell me the exact command*
The following is the output of fdisk
Please tell me the exact command
[r...@localhost manimeh]# /sbin/fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 20673 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes
