Skip the "partitioning" game. Put the filesystem on /dev/dasdd instead of /dev/dasdd1 and mount that. (be sure all this matches /etc/fstab, of course)
But lately, SuSE likes to put more knowledge in the initial RAM disk. So you probably need to run 'mkinitrd' and then 'zipl' before rebooting. -- R; ----- Original Message ----- From: Martha McConaghy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09/21/2007 11:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Suse disk frustration OK, I'm sure I'm doing something dumb, but I've pounded my head against the wall long enough to seek some help. I haven't really touched Suse in a couple of years, so I'm pretty rusty and my notes aren't as good as they seemed to be when I wrote them (go figure). Suddenly, someone needs a disk added to their Suse virtual machine. I created the minidisk, and CMS formatted it - so far no problem. I went through Yast-hardware to activate the disk and then used the Software partitioner to format it with ext3 and mount it at /data1. So far, so good. The disk shows up, everything seems happy. Then, I reboot the system to make sure everything is OK and the fsck fails on the new disk. I get the following messages: /sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /data1Ù fsck.ext3 -a /dev/dasdd1 "" fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/dasdd1""" Possibly non-existent or swap device?"" fsck.ext3 /dev/dasdd1 failed (status 0x8). Run manually!"" Arrrgggg..... I've tried everything I can think of and nothing helps. If I take the disk out of fstab and then mount it manually, no problem. What the heck am I missing? This is SLES 9, by the way.
