Hi, I'm trying to use the Linux Answer here...
here
I found the discussion here...
here
which explains I need to use mkdosfs , but I still have problems trying to do that...
Now I get
pcp02620325pcs:/home/dave # mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/hdd3
mkdosfs 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
mkdosfs: unable to allocate space for FAT image in memory
pcp02620325pcs:/home/dave #
What does that mean?
(This is fdisk for that drive:
Disk /dev/hdd: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 1 96 771088+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdd2 * 97 5773 45600502+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdd3 5774 14592 70838617+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
Command (m for help): q
)
I'm trying to format the hdd3 part, so i can share between linux and windows...
If i try and just use the defaults, it gives me:
pcp02620325pcs:/home/dave # mkdosfs /dev/hdd3
mkdosfs 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
mkdosfs: Attempting to create a too large file system
shouldn't a 70 gig partition be ok? Should I break it down even more?
edit: sorry, i was going to delete that post, but found i couldn't... figured this might get more traffic...
