i've mentioned this a couple of times. if you use "fdisk" to create a new partition, you *may* have to reboot before the current kernel allows you to run "mke2fs" on that new partition. however, it appears creating and formatting new partitions with "parted" has no such limitation. go figure. rday -- Robert P.
