i have a 4G ntfs partition on my disk i want to convert that to a linux partition and mount that on /foo so i login as root , fire fdisk # fdisk /dev/hdb delete the existing NT partiion /dev/hdb7 add a new partition (Defaults to Linux type) commit changes gives me an error liek.. failed to re-read partition table with error 16 : device or resource busy i reboot and when i try to mount that partition (manually or thru fstab) it says that the partition is recognised as ntfs (which my kernel doesn't support) why doesn't the kernel recognise it as an ext2 fs ? i went to the extent of removing the partition from NT, recreating the partition in Linux.. but same problem :-( please advise. _______________________________________________ Shourya Sarcar || Global Software Platforms gemedicalsystems.com || ge.com || elfun.org livejournal.com/users/sarcar || shourya.com Ring : +91 80 5263121 xt 362 -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
