I'm trying to set up a 1GB Maxtor drive as a Linux extfs partition.
At first I had problems with mke2fs running out of memory, then I
set up a swap space on /dev/hda of 16 MB, and ran it again. Now it has
been sitting there for about 10 minutes with no response. Is it hung?
What's the scoop? When I set up a 250 MB partition on the same disk
it took about 15 seconds (rough guess, that was yesterday).
Anybody have any ideas?
Cheers!
Jay MacDonald
