Subject: formatting partitions
Hello,
I had troubles when partitioning the disk during the installation using
Debian installer (beta 3). The problem is that the default format (ext2 or
ext3) makes the system with 5% reserved space for root, which is sometimes
too much. Therefore, I prefer to have an option to change this value.
So I tried to format the partition manually via
mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/hda2
and then try to remount it (by setting "use existing format"). The problem
is that after exiting the partitioning section the installer complainted
about wrong format of the partition, so I could not continue.
I event tried to modified the script residing in the ram disk at that
time, but I didn't succced. Is there an (relatively) easy way how to
override the default 5% reserved space ? If not, I would suggest to
include such an option into the HDD partitioning section.
Thanks a lot for help in advance,
best regards
Tomas Davidek
