i'd like to know how to create the partition again
thank you very much
If you're doing this from an xterm window within a DE, or -- if
you've installed autofs -- the console, then these errors are to be
expected, since it's trying to auto-mount a blank disk.
Ignore the errors and use your favorite tool to create the new
partitions.
