Formating an external USB hard drive
Hi!
I tried to format an USB external hard drive with Code:
sudo /sbin/mke2fs -j /dev/sda1 mke2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) warning: 859 blocks unused. Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 10260000 inodes, 20480000 blocks 1024042 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=20971520 625 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16416 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000, 7962624, 11239424 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (8192 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 22 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. But when I do Code:
mount /media/New_Volume mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' I use FC4. What did I do wrong? Thanks. XpucTo |
Hi!
I'd recommend checking your /etc/fstab file. It could be that your drive is still listed there with ntfs file-format. Open the file as root user and change the corresponding line to ext3. Just my thoughts when I read your message.... Greetings, Bjoern |
Thanks Bjoern! It worked!

Kein Problem! :-)
