Hi, i wrote: > > Check whether there is really no filesystem on /dev/sdb6 ! Pascal Hambourg wrote: > How ? I may suggest amongst others : file -sk /dev/sdb6 Good proposal. Richard: Add this to mine. An empty partition should report /dev/sdb6: data whereas a recognizable filesystem should tell lots of info, like /dev/sdb6: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, ... or /dev/sdb6: DOS/MBR boot sector, ... FAT ... A Linux swap partition looks like /dev/sdb6: Linux/i386 swap file ... ------------------------------------------------------------------- Questions of long term style rather than immediate functionality of the proposal: > Why use an obsolete filesystem type as ext3 instead of ext4 ? As said: Old school. Just some filesystem type that is supposed to take large data files. > My understanding of the FHS was that /mnt was intended to be used as a > temporary mount point, not to contain any subdirectories used as permanent > mount points. Using /mnt for custom mount points does not look like a grave mistake, at least. Old school is: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/mnt.html "This is a generic mount point under which you mount your filesystems or devices. [...] This directory usually contains mount points or sub-directories where you mount your floppy and your CD. You can also create additional mount-points here if you wish." About as old as above LFS is: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MNTMOUNTPOINTFORATEMPORARILYMOUNT "/mnt : Mount point for a temporarily mounted filesystem Purpose This directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily mount a filesystem as needed. The content of this directory is a local issue and should not affect the manner in which any program is run. This directory must not be used by installation programs: a suitable temporary directory not in use by the system must be used instead." Do we have newer specs ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
