However when we attempt to format our mini-disks using yast we get a "MOUNT ERROR - error mounting the filesystem of partition /dev/dasdb1 to the directory /mnt . wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dasdb1 or too many mounted file systems in yast. The LINUX guest on VM reports - "VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev dasd(94,9)" and "Unable to find swap-space signature".
