I don't know the full answer, but I've found that a partition seems to hang onto some information about its original formatting. When this happens to me, I am able to mount the partion by specifying the current -t xxxxx when mounting the partition. To avoid this happening again, apparently you must use dd (or other utility) to wipe out the start of the partition before reformatting the partition to you new filesystem. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area - WWTLRD? gentoo(since 01/01/01) 2.4.18+(ext3) xfce-sylpheed-mozilla _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
