I just added a drive in a Red Hat 6.2 box. It is just a 3 gig drive. The bios as well as Linux found the drive just fine. I used cfdisk to make a primary partition as well as a logical partition, named hdb1 and hdb5, respectively. I also made hdb1 bootable.
My problem is that either I cannot mount the partitions or the size of the mount point is incorrect. Let me explain…
When I mount the primary partition, it only mounts 27MB of the partition regardless of how big I make it. I have tried to play around with the sizes.
It also seems that I cannot even mount the logical partition. It gives me some error like ‘mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb5, or too many mounted file systems’ I don’t think I have too many mounted file systems…I only have 8. I tried unmounting a few and trying it then, and I got the same result.
I have tried MANY combinations of making just one primary partition and no logical ones, or having a swap partition in there, changing the sizes, making it non-bootable, etc., all with no luck. Am I missing something?? Obviously when I mount something, the directory exists. I am using the ext2 file system, type 83, as defined in cfdisk and fdisk. Why can I not mountmore than 27MB??? Thanks for any help you can provide me.
