I have been using the extfs for a couple of months with no trouble.
Recently I got a good deal ($300) on a Quantum 240MB IDE drive, so now
I have two IDE drives and a lot more space for linux. I have moved my
linux partition to my second drive and now I have two 64MB extfs partitions
(/dev/hdb2 and /dev/hdb3) and a single 16MB swap partition (/dev/hdb4).
All of my first 120MB disk (/dev/hda) and my /dev/hdb1 partition are devoted
to DOS. The system boots up fine and mounts both partitions by when I
type "mount" I get:
~> mount
/dev/hdb2 on / type minix ()
~>
It incorrectly lists the type as minix instead of ext and does not list
the /dev/hdb3 partition. When I type "df" I get:
~> df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hdb2 65305 38131 27174 58% /
~>
Again no mention of /dev/hdb3. If my cwd is on /dev/hdb3 and I type "df .":
~> df .
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
df: cannot find mount point for .
~>
But I have had no shell-init errors and no problem at all using the mounted
partition.
I am running the latest SLS and get the same results under 0.99.4 and
0.99.5.
Anybody have similar problems?
