Hi To all I have just built a new System 3.4Gb AMD Athlon 64bit 1GB RAM 500Gb SATA HDD Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00e600e6 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 1912 15358108+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 1913 3824 15358140 83 Linux /dev/sda3 3825 60801 457667752+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 60194 60801 4883760 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 3825 60193 452783929+ 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order. On sda1 I have windows Xp Pro sp2 on sda2 I have Ubuntu 9.10 64bit just upgraded via web On sda6 I have my home partition (according to gparted) I have installed EXT2IFS so I can have XP and Ubuntu use the same place for files. Every time I try to access F: drive from Windows I get "do you want to format the drive " I'm thinking that I have a Inodes problem, Thinking they are 256 not 128. I have tried to format the drive with Gparted to EXT3 a few times and get the same problem still " Large inodes The current version of Ext2 IFS only mounts volumes with an inode size of 128 like old Linux kernels have. Some very new Linux distributions create an Ext3 file systems with inodes of 256 bytes. Ext2 IFS 1.11 is not able to access them. Currently there is only one workaround: Please back up the files and create the Ext3 file system again. Give the mkfs.ext3 tool the -I 128 switch. Finally, restore all files with the backup. " If I'm write I need to unmount the /Home partition but I don't know how to do this :-( Please if you would be so kind as to help me with any info Chris _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
