Hello,
I tried to format a DASD (CDL) and run into the following problem. I am
using SLES7.2 (kernel 2.4.17), s390-tools-1.1.4 and e2fsprogs-1.23-2.
First off all I used dasdfmt:
dasdfmt -f /dev/dasds -b 4096
After that I tried to create an ext2 filesystem
mke2fs /dev/dasds1 -b 4096
and got the following error:
/ # mke2fs /dev/dasds1 -b 4096
mke2fs 1.23, 15-Aug-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
mke2fs: Device size reported to be zero. Invalid partition specified, or
partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to
a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to reboot
to re-read your partition table.
What is the problem?
regards,
- Tim -
