I've already deleted the file, got that far ... but other weird issues (maybe not so weird, I'm really not familiar with some of these files)
Here's the result of all of this - everything seems to be fine except I have no /dev/hdb1 directory entry. I repartitioned my 2nd drive hoping this would create that entry, but it didn't. What do I have to do to recreate the /dev/hdb1 - partitioning seemed to go find, but I cannot mkfs (as follows):
When I try to: /sbin/mkfs -s ext2 /dev/hdb1 I get: mke2fs 1.14, 9-Jan-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 Could not stat /dev/hdb1 --- No such file or directory The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?All my other mkfs's worked okay (partitions 2,3,4), but when I try to mount /dev/hdb2 I get:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type Any ideas? THAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Jale
