That could just as easily be a reiserfs partition. What I'm saying is that code 83 is for all linux filesystems, including ext2 ext3 reiserfs. To make the partition officially declared as a linux partition, you set it as 83. To format it as ext3, `mkfs.ext2 -j /dev/PARTITION`. Can anyone tell me why linux needs its code (83) set? I can understand about the various windows needing that to tell them what's theirs, but linux and its filesystems seem pretty oblivious to what they're on. --=20 Bryce C CoBryce Communications --=-ysg8arvtwWrt4AC+J8Gt Content-Disposition: inline Content-Description: Forwarded message - Re: / spanning multiple disks Content-Type: message/rfc822 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mail.bryceconet.plug@localhost.cobryce.com Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by cobryce.myvnc.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2EF48C0471 for ; Thu, 7 Aug 2003 19:14:05 -0700 (MST) Envelope-to: plug@bryceco.net Delivery-date: Thu, 07 Aug 2003 22:12:45 -0400 Received: from 66.103.137.65 by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-5.9.7) for mail.bryceconet.plug@localhost (single-drop); Thu, 07 Aug 2003 19:14:05 -0700 (MST) Received: from [68.14.243.59] (helo=pluglist.macrosift.com) by sh2.1-sh.com with esmtp (Exim 4.20) id 19kwkH-0007R7-Bt for plug@bryceco.net; Thu, 07 Aug 2003 22:12:45 -0400 Received: from lists.plug.phoenix.az.us (plug [127.0.0.1]) by pluglist.macrosift.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 14DC21A72EA; Thu, 7 Aug 2003 19:26:05 -0700 (MST) Delivered-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Received: from fed1mtao03.cox.net (fed1mtao03.cox.net [68.6.19.242]) by pluglist.macrosift.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 04F671A72E8 for ; Thu, 7 Aug 2003 19:25:42 -0700 (MST) Received: from asu.edu ([68.109.129.65]) by fed1mtao03.cox.net (InterMail vM.5.01.04.05 201-253-122-122-105-20011231) with ESMTP id <20030808021220.IHC23233.fed1mtao03.cox.net@asu.edu> for ; Thu, 7 Aug 2003 22:12:20 -0400 Message-ID: <3F330707.5070204@asu.edu> From: Rob Wultsch User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030723 Thunderbird/0.1 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: / spanning multiple disks References: <3F32BB33.8040007@asu.edu> <3F32C75D.3020409@asu.edu> <3F32DD20.1050707@asu.edu> <002201c35d3e$a8fd3d70$6e01a8c0@thomas> <3F32ED9F.60804@asu.edu> <3F32F2DC.10203@digitalnirvana.com> In-Reply-To: <3F32F2DC.10203@digitalnirvana.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Sender: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Errors-To: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us X-BeenThere: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: Main PLUG discussion list.
