As I said, I right clicked on the drive, chose Format and now there's an sdb1 partition and no other. I never created it otherwise. > A file system is on a device, partitions are devices too. Try "ls -l > /dev/sda*" and look at the first letter, all block devices. You're right, my hasty extrapolations were wrong. But I don't believe you can get a Flash drive working that will be listed only as /dev/sdb any more than you can have a HD working with only /dev/sda. I have no idea about arrays, I'm talking about standard desktops with one drive. Or, so do I think, cause I've always created / and /home partitions with Linux. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
