i have a hard drive here that was formerly used in a win2k box and therefore had an ntfs partition on it. i wanted to use it for my linux box so i went about fdisking it, blowing away the old partition in favour of a standard linux (id 83) paritition then then did a:
mke2fs -j /dev/hdd1 so i could use the new disk. but when i typed: mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/test/ i got this error: mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel wtf? running fdisk again assures me that it's a linux partition on there, and mke2fs -j should have created an ext3 filesystem, so why does the machine still think that it's an ntfs disc? thanks for any help you guys might have to offer :) _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer there is a time, when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop. and you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all. - mario savio -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
