Hi all I hope this is the right place to ask this: I wanted to use a 2 TB disk (as mythtv recordings drive) with the xfs filesystem. Until now I had jfs but I wanted to switch it. Since I have two drives of the same type I formatted the new drive with xfs and copied the recordings onto it. Today I saw that I created the filesystem over the disk instead of the partition: ~# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdk These are my two disks: /dev/sdi1 jfs 1.9T 1.9T 3.9G 100% /mnt/recordings /dev/sdk xfs 1.9T 1.9T 3.3G 100% /mnt/recordings_temp Is it ok to use the disk instead of the partition or why do I have to create the filesystem on a partition?
