Good morning, I am trying to add a partition to my Trustix Linux system.
I am trying to create a partition on a drive that already has some
smaller partitions on it.  I was able to create the partition, but when
I try to mount it on /temp I get that /dev/sda3 is not a valid block
device.  I have also tried to create a file system on it and get the
following:

 

No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size

 

Here is my fdisk

 

Disk /dev/sda: 4293 MB, 4293632000 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 522 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

 

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda1   *           1           6       48163+  83  Linux

/dev/sda2               7          30      192780   82  Linux swap /
Solaris

/dev/sda3              31         522     3951990   83  Linux

 

Not sure why I can not create anything on sda3, I have tried primary
partition and extended partition with a logical partition that came up
as sda5, but I had the same problem

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thank you

 

Richard Tracy
