mke2fs -c /dev/hda8 fails!
I'm trying to move around partitions on my system. I have four primary
partitions -- one is extended. Here's the fdisk output:
calico:~# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1247 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 500 4016249+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 501 516 128520 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 * 517 523 56227+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 524 1247 5815530 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 524 778 2048256 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 779 804 208813+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda7 805 932 1028128+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 933 1024 738958+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda9 1025 1247 1791216 83 Linux
When I get to mke2fs -c /dev/hda8, I get the following error.
mke2fs 1.18, 11-Nov-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/hda8: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up
superblock
So how do I get filesystems on /dev/hda8 and /dev/hda9?
