I have a linux machine here which is low on hard disk space my idea was to mount my "Windows NT home directory" here at work and use it for extra space (I can up my spcae by 2 gigs that way) o far I have mounted my home drive \\home5\sjc8$ on /mnt/partners with smbmount because o fmy specific problems I was trying to do the following: create a second extended filesystem in a file on the NT home dir and then mount that filesystem (I need a filesystem that will hole my files and care about case and permissions I am planning on using it to image CDs to burn (hamm hamm hamm :) ) why wont it work? I can make an e2fs filesystem but when I try to moungt it anywhere I get errors I tried the following example cd ~ touch test.e2 mke2fs -F test.e2 500 (it makes a filesystem) mkdir testmnt mount test.e2 -o loop testmnt and it moutns! then... cp test.e2 /mnt/partners mount /mnt/partners/test.e2 -o loop testmnt and I get the errors "loop: block 1 not present" and a bunch of others then I tried cd /mnt/partners mkdir testmnt and same deal anyone tried this? can it work? what sthe problem? -Steve -- -=Signature has been removed because it made an unfair comparison between NT 4 and Linux =- replacement: (ok I admit...I am bored..its a slow day at work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$fortune -o Anything more than 3 shakes is for fun.
