Hi, I am using Cygwin 1.7.7 on Windows 7.
I have installed e2fsprogs-1.41.12 on cygwin. I have carved out a 10G partition in my harddisk using windows disk manager. My 'cat /proc/partitions' command also lists out my sda2 partition, so I am sure that there is sda2 partition with 10G $ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 312571224 sda 8 1 302083072 sda1 8 2 10484736 sda2 Now, I am trying to use mkfs.ext4 to create an ext4 file system on this partition. This is the command I am using: $/usr/sbin/mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2 it fails with error message; "mkfs.ext4: Bad file descriptor while trying to determine filesystem size" Any idea why it is happening so? Thanks in advance, Phani. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
