Editing partitions through SSH then mounting.
Hi,
I have a partition on my server that is not mounting correctly, i am using cfdiskt to write the partition and then editing my fstab and mount -a. I have not been successfull yet, what is the best way to go about this process? Maybe something step by step so I don't miss anything. Is it that cfdisk just isn't formatting the partition really or what? I've tried this over and over. Thanks, MJ Quote:

Hi,
is there a filesystem on your partition? As the error message states the superblock of the filesystem cannot be found. |
i ran a command that it recommended and it is tellimg me that it cant find the ext3 file system on sda3. Is there a better way to partition via command prompt?
|
To elaborate on mesiol's post cfdisk creates a partition but not a filesystem i.e it does not format). To create a filesystem use the mkfs command.
I assume this is a new partition and not an existing one that contains data. |
oh, okay. Thanks for helping out the noob.
