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?
The drive is formatted NTFS, which is pretty much useless under Linux.
Assuming you intend to only use this drive in Linux, you simply need to
reformat the drive.
mke2fs -j /dev/sda1
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/point
Obviously, substitute your desired mount point for "/mnt/point".
