Hello,
I created a new partition (sdb16), and got an error (see below).
The new partition still shows up in the partition table.
Then I tried to create a file system on the new partition and got
another error (see below).
How can I fix this? I have several more filesystems that I need to
mount.
Thanks,
Selene
