Formating and Mounting Partitions giving problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi
After the installation of
Windows and Linux on my desktop.I partitioned the disk space under Windows and kept the partitions as raw.
Switched to Linux as Root,and viewed the disk
it showed the partitions as FAT 16 while i kept them Raw,under windows.
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot       Start          End     Blocks     Id     System
/dev/hdc1   *           1        1275    10241406    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hdc2            1276       30400   233946562+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdc5            1276        7649    51199123+   6  FAT16

/dev/hdc11          28060       28124      522081   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hdc12          28125       30400    18281938+   6  FAT16

 
More over formatting them under Linux [as shown below] ,did not altered their system type.
[root@localhost ~]# mkdosfs -v -F32 /dev/hdc5
mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
/dev/hdc5 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track,
logical sector size is 512,
using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 102398246 sectors;
file system has 2 32-bit FATs and 32 sectors per cluster.
FAT size is 24988 sectors, and provides 3198382 clusters.
Volume ID is 475c1a5c, no volume label.

They are still shown as FAT 16,the system shows some FAILURE messages at the boot time.

[root@localhost log]# tail -10 dmesg
EXT3 FS on hdc9, internal journal

EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
Adding 522072k swap on /dev/hdc11.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:522072k

Which i think are logged at /var/log/ as i had entered entry for them in /etc/fstab to be mounted at boot.

[root@localhost etc]# cat fstab
LABEL=/1                /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

/dev/hdc6               /mnt/win2               vfat    rw.defaults,umask=0000,auto   0 0
/dev/hdc7               /mnt/win3               vfat    rw.defaults,umask=0000,auto   0 0
/dev/hdc8               /mnt/win4               vfat    rw.defaults,umask=0000,auto   0 0
/dev/hdc12              /mnt/win5               ext2    defaults        0 0

I've to manually mount them under Linux in order to use them.

Please help me out with these partitioning and mounting issues.thanking you all.

Thanks and Regards
Saurabh
