I have recently created a small (16MB) ext2 partition on the same hard drive where I have my root Linux partition. Today, I tried to delete it if with fdisk, since I don't need it anymore, but after I exit the fdisk with the "w" option, and it is done syncing disks, I get the following error: "Reread table failed with Error 16: device or resource busy." As a result, the partition stays there, even after reboot. Also I tried running partinfo.exe--a DOS utility that prints the partition table (comes with Partition Magic). It gives me a more interesting error: "logical drive chain extends toward start of drive. This is incompatible with DOS fdisk. Linux fdisk is one source of this problem." How do I go about getting rid of the problem? It is not as much the space that I need, but now I can't use Partition Magic to manipulate my DOS partitions, which is very useful. BTW, the partition is the last logical drive--/dev/hda8. Could this have something to do with the problem? I appreciate any help you could give me. Please let me know if there is a better mailing list for this kind of problem.
