Hi all,

I can see the device in my /proc/bus/usb/devices file, but fdisk -l
doesn't show it at all. I was trying to mount and partition it using
Webmin, but I can't figure out the device name I need to give it to
mount and partition it. How is the best way to figure that out?
This particular server is running CentOS 4.
Thanks,
Tim
If it's a brand new drive it will not have a valid partition table. A
simple sudo /sbin/fdisk -l will show all drives and their partition
tables. The one with an invalid partition table is the one you're
interested in.
Sorry, just read again and noticed that fdisk did not show you anything. :(
Actually, your first email made me double check this to see if I was
missing something and I was (or maybe it really wasn't there initially).
So what I see now is:
Disk /dev/sda: 750.1 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 91201 732572001 7 HPFS/NTFS
This is definitely the drive. So when I try to use Webmin to mount and
partition device /dev/sda (and also tried /dev/sda2) as a New Linux
Native Filesystem (ext3), I get the error of:
Failed to save mount : Mount failed :
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
or too many mounted file systems
So I'm guessing I'm using the wrong file system type. What should I use
instead of ext3?
Thanks,
Tim
