sudo file -s /dev/sdd /dev/sdd: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0x83, start-CHS (0x0,32,33), end-CHS (0x3ff,254,63), startsector 2048, 491517952 sectors, extended partition table (last) sudo file -s /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdd1: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=8c2abe1e-dd2e-4aa1-b3dd-3bc07f9c82c3, volume name "256GB-1" (extents) (large files) (huge files) Why did the first command above mention DOS? I think they were originally formatted NTFS. Also, it is a strong possibility that my overnight wipe out with Gnome Disk Utility is the cause of present tribulations. Is there a command line way to do this that might be more reliable, so I can start over with something known to be clean? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
