Re: cfdisk

Hey,

you've only made the partition, you have no file-system (in other words,
it's not ext2 because you have not made it ext2 (altho i would suggest
using reiserfs, but that's your decision)).  Anyway, try these commands,
and then mount it:

mke2fs /dev/hda13
e2fsck /dev/hda13
mount /dev/hda13 /mnt/sp_13
