I got warned for asking a Q in a new thread I didn't know that was against the rules :p..

i was wondering if anyone can help me out. i need to understand how to create file systems in Linux Solaris or redhat enterprise. i know the instructions but i just cant seem to get it through my head of how it all fits together. do i need a partition on the HD for a file system? or do i create a directory then use the mkfs instruction on it?..

thanks Jacques ;)

First, create partitions with fdisk or cfdisk. Then you create filesystems on those partitions with mkfs.

The block device is called /dev/hda or /dev/sda. If you have more than one, the next will be called /dev/hdb or /dev/sdb and so on. When you create a partition, the first partition will be called /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1. You can now create a filesystem on it. I'm not sure if it's even possible to mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda, but in any case it's not how it's supposed to be done.

to whoever's using Edgy here....i've tried Edgy for a few weeks after it came out and found it very unstable...Opera, amarok, gaim, VLC all crashed regularly!!! so i reverted to Dapper. i still want to use the lastest version, but the crashes are scaring...

what im thinkin is that it's been a while since it came out so they must've fixed most issues with updates n stuff...have any of u current edgy users encountered a rise in stability after the updates, PARTICULARLY in the programs i mentioned above?

thanx.

but have the updates fixed any of those problems? and were there any big updates on the first place?

Amarok haven't crashed for 2 or 3 days now. Opera I just stopped using, seemingly its not handling Flash 9 properly, every 3 videos on youtube it crashes....

I have been updating regularly, I would say there around 200 packages upgraded since I installed it (I installed it two days before it's official release)
