> You have to mount it first.... You can't access an unmounted disk. If the disk has been formated with NT and he want's a new filesystem, he has to 'mkfs' the disk first... He is - hopefully - not going to mount a NT-formated disk!!! And please, do not format a disk using 'mkfs' while it is mounted.... :( -Oliver _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
