Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gparted
I have an eee 1000 SSD 40Gb, which contains two SCSI drives: sda with 8Gb and sdb with 32 Gb. I failed to install ubuntu-eee when trying to use sdb as my /home partition. I have successfully installed ubuntu-eee into sda, ignoring sdb1. If I go too gparted and format sdb1 to ext3, it takes a long time but it claims to succeed. Then, when closing the dialog, gparted scans for all drives and ... sdb1 is NOT recognized as formated! When I go to a terminal and type: $ sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1 $ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 I get this error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Any help appreciated. This 32 Gb drive was just fine from Xandros. ** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- cannot mount an ext3 formatted partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
