I was trying to create a new partition at the end of a 10g disk and it
just isn't working. The system is running 7.0 and I keep it regularly
updated.
I'm able to create the new partition (/dev/hda6) but I can't put a
filesystem on it. Here's the relevant output. If anyone has a clue, I'd
appreciate it.
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
