Reset partition info with Partition Magic 4.0 and create a ext2 partition for all disk with PQ Magic 4 too. Then I reset to linux again and here is the result: [root@echelon root]# fdisk /dev/hdb Advertencia: demasiadas particiones (16, el valor maximo es 8). Comando (m para obtener ayuda): p Disco /dev/hdb: 64 cabezales, 63 sectores, 525 cilindros Unidades = cilindros de 4032 * 512 bytes 16 particiones: # start end size fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 1 203 203 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 b: 204 268 65 swap c: 1 2100 2100 unused 0 0 d: 269 634 366 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 e: 635 675 41 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 I am viewing the same info!!! Incredible But here is something more strange, as I told before I create a unique ext 2 partition for all disk (1Gb).. [root@echelon root]# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/red1/ [root@echelon root]# Ups! no error!! [root@echelon root]# mount [...] /dev/hdb1 on /mnt/red1 type ext2 (rw) WHAAAAT? I can't understand anything. :/
Need a way to reliably reproduce
