Generally speaking, it's probably safer to create a 200GB partition on the drive (which would be /dev/hde1), and then use "mkfs.ext3 /dev/hde1" to actually format the partition in question. You would then mount /dev/hde1 to whichever mountpoint it is you wanted. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
