I'm rearranging my spare hard drive. I used to have it split into a 2G
DOS partition, a 2G NTFS partition, and a 4G extended partition
containing two or three logical partitions. I got rid of the extended
and the NTFS but left the DOS partition, and I'd like to take the 6G now
freed on the disk and make it a single e2fs filesystem.
Okay, ran fdisk, it didn't complain...
[root@gaea /root]# fdisk /dev/hda
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1021 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 261 2096451 6 FAT16
/dev/hda2 262 1021 6104700 83 Linux
Command (m for help):
...but when I try to make a filesystem I get nothing but complaints:
[root@gaea /root]# mke2fs /dev/hda2
mke2fs 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/hda2: Not enough space to build proposed filesystem while setting
up superblock
Wha...?
Any idea what might cause this? The mke2fs manpage is silent on
debugging issues, and I'm not sure where else to look.
Thanks,
-m
