I actually just ran into this today. My drive fdisk /dev/hdb Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/hdb: 850 MB, 850010112 bytes 32 heads, 63 sectors/track, 823 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2016 * 512 = 1032192 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 823 829552+ 83 Linux My Make FS Command mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 My relevant /etc/fstab entry /dev/hdb1 /routerlogs ext3 defaults 1 3 Works fine....ensure you are properly creating the partition, mkfs ext3, mount ext3.
