hey cameron... ok.. that gets me a drive - formatted / with partition, so when the install process asks if i want to install or reformat.. is there an option to allow me to simply install on the already formatted/partitioned drive?? even though it won't have a previous os on it?? I'm going from mem, I don't have the install docs/site in front of me. thanks On Tue, Oct 14, 2014 at 6:59 PM, Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 14Oct2014 18:07, bruce <badouglas@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Thanks Paul and others. >> >> I've had some tell me that you can do the inode increase as you create >> the drive/format it/partition it if you have a post % % process.. but >> no one has been able to tell me step by step how to do this!!! > > > Just create the filesystem by hand using mkfs: mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.xfs etc as > appropriate.
