Slackware 12.1, Cant Partition Old Slackware 12.0 System
cfdisk: Opened disk read-only - you have no permission to write...
That's the message I get when I try to partition my old Slackware system. So I popped in Gparted and overwrote the disk, but I'm still getting the same message. It wouldn't be a big deal, but I need to use the cfdisk to write LVM. Gparted doesn't appear to have the option. Any advice? |
You're making us guess, so here goes ...
My guess is you have a PATA CD/DVD-ROM drive, and a SATA hard drive. If this guess is correct, you should use "cfdisk /dev/sda" ... If I'm right, do I get the $64,000? |
