i want a new partition for external usb hdd, replace ntfs with ext4 with debian tools
Hi,
i bought a hhd toshiba 3tb external usb3.0, it's formated with ntfs and works fine with debian.
Now i would like to use ext4 and not ntfs anymore.
My disk utility palimpsest is not able to change the partition. There are differnt errors like:
error1)
the partition is misaligned by 512bytes. this may result in very poor performance .rapartitioning is suggested
error2)
Error creating partition: helper exited with exit code 1: In part_add_partition: device_file=/dev/sdb, start=0, size=1000000000000, type=0x83
