 Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2006 9:26 pm Post subject: mke2fs hdd1, device does not exist :S [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hey guys,
i recently installed a 250GB IDE hdd.
i've added a partition, wich shows itself perfectly when doing fdisk -l
so i want to create an ext3 filesystem on this partition:
| Code: |
Fileserver ~ # mke2fs -j /dev/hdd1
mke2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
Could not stat /dev/hdd1 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
|
| Code: |
Fileserver ~ # fdisk -l /dev/hdd
Disk /dev/hdd: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdd1 1 30401 244196001 83 Linux
|
any ideas?
thx for the help!

Hi.
Do you have the /dev/hdd1 device? Do you get any error in dmesg? Are you able to create a reiserfs or other filesystem in this partition?

I've the same error. I think you may use a bronken update, cause if you do an ls -ls to your / you will see the contents of /dev there... I'm still trying to figura what happend. Probably a simple boot from a live CD and update will fix it.

Boot from the live CD, do an emerge --sync and update udev to 089-r2 and everything will be fixed.

Have you checked /dev for the device hdd? Whats the output of
?
You could create the device manually with the mknod command if needed.
EDIT: You may want to try ext3 with the dir index option and mount the partition with "noatime". Quite speedy 
| Code: | | mke2fs -j -O dir_index /dev/hdd1 |

only hdd is listed. hdd1 is missing
could you explain the mknod cmd, the help is quiet confusing.

Are you able to create a filesystem after creating the device node?
| Code: | | # mknod /dev/hdd1 b 22 65 |
