Dear friends,
I am a linux user for quite some time and it is only recently that I noticed
an undelievable thing about Linux.
Well I had some documents in my system which I decided to store in a
separate partition in my disk just for safety's sake.So I fired
up fdisk, created a new partition with id-83 (Linux), and moved all my docs there.
Then the problems started - I tried to mount it but failed
miserably.Anyway I did mount it with a rather naive command.After that I
was using that partition naturally for some days.Once I tried to run fsck on that
drive and it greeted me with an error message which made me realize that I
had NOT CREATED A FILESYSTEM on that drive.
Can anyone out there suggest a reason on how this could have happened
? Is it a feature of Linux - I don't think you can use a drive
without formatting on any other OS.
