Hi,
When you have done it a couple of times, you will be surprised how simple it really is.
It looks like you have not partitioned your drive. Have you run "fdisk /dev/hde" and partitioned
your drive up? One then has to create a filesystem on the drive, after it is partitioned.
Do you know what drive number it is?
hda - primary master
hdb - primary slave
hdc - secondary master
hdd - secondary slave
hde - ?
regards,
Geoff.

Subject: Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table {Scanned}
Hi,
I'm trying to find out how I can go about making sure my new hard drive
(/dev/hde) is correctly formated and partitioned. This was my 1st time
adding a hard drive in a linux system and I had a pretty hard time setting
it up.
Now, I'm getting the following error when I try to run a backup script to
this hard drive:
Disk /dev/hde doesn't contain a valid partition table
Here is the info for this hard drive:
# e2fsck /dev/hde
e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
/dev/hde: clean, 194/24428544 files, 2871129/48840246 blocks
#vi /etc/fstab
/dev/hde /Backups ext3 defaults 1 2
Can anyone tell me how to go about troubleshooting this problem?
Thanks,
SW
