I have a 18GB SCSI HDD. I have created a first partition (around 6GB) which is labeled /dev/sdb1.
It's in use and works great (a Squid cache). Now I would like to create a Debian rsync mirror on the last 12GB ... created the partition with fdisk. here is the pic: lori-renato:/home# fdisk -l /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2212 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 765 6144831 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 766 2212 11623027+ 83 Linux but this is what I get when I issue the mke2fs command. Am I missing something obvious ?? Thank you. Bob lori-renato:~# mke2fs /dev/sdb2 mke2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001) mke2fs: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size
