Re: [cobalt-users] RAQ3i - out of space, but really shouldn't be



May have gotten lost in this thread - but I am still having a problem, so this is a resend (with a few modifications):

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 (file entry) /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

, but I can mount 3 and 4. I have no problem with recreating the 2nd drive from scratch, but I did remove all partitions once and recreate them, that apparantly does not create the /dev/hdb1 entry and partition 2 is working oddly.

Any ideas? THAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
