I have 3 partitions on my boot disk and went into fdisk utility and made an extended partition for the rest of the free space on the disk. Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 73.4 GB, 73407865856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8924 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 127 1020096 83 Linux /dev/sda2 128 382 2048287+ 82 Linux swap /dev/sda3 383 1657 10241437+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 1658 8924 58372177+ 5 Extended Command (m for help): How do I make and mount volumes on my system within this extended area? I can't do a mkfs on the sda4 extended slice # mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda4 mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) mkfs.ext3: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size [root@erdlx1 root]# I've done this on the initial install of the OS and made many extended partitions but haven't ever done it after the fact using fdisk. Any help on how to use this extended space to create volumes and mount them would be great.
