I was so excited! I installed the debian syatem but when I tried to mount
the LFS partition it said
"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda9,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so"
then as I was trying to investigate the LFS partitions cfdisk wouldn't even
start and fdisk kept saying
"Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by
w(rite)"
Writing didn't correct the problem so instead of bugging you I figured that
this might have something to do with the fact that I set the LFS
partitions up when I installed debian. So I reinstalled debian w/o setting
up the LFS partitions and now now cfdisk starts and I set the partitions
up. But it won't let me create the file system. this is what happens:
root@debian:~# mkfs -v -t ext4 /dev/sda6
mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Could not stat /dev/sda6 --- No such file or directory
The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
root@debian:~# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): p

/dev/sda7 476569928 488281249 5855661 82 Linux swap / Solaris
as you can see the device does exist. sda1 is swap for the debian system
which is in sda5. sda6 is going to be the LFS system and sda7 is going to
be the swap for LFS when I get done.
Please, what did I do wrong or else what is the problem?
