What is the problem? Use 'mke2fs -c /dev/hda2 75000' if it is the 2nd
partition of your harddisk, take the size which is reported from your
linux-fdisk:
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 342 71802+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda2 797 797 989 40530 5 Extended
/dev/hda4 343 343 796 95340 83 Linux extfs
/dev/hda5 797 797 949 32129+ 83 Linux extfs
/dev/hda6 950 950 989 8399+ 82 Linux swap
^^^^^ take the number of your part.
