Dear PLUG gang, I guess I should have stayed for the presentation on the ext2 fs last Wednesday. Anyway, I have a question. I installed two 80GB maxtor IDE/ATA drives on our cluster. The hardware instalation went fine, and for the most part, making the partition tables and the fs was straightforward. I first did fdisk, created and wrote the partitions, and then mkfs on the partitions. Now, mkfs did the whole 'writing inodes' thing, completed it, and then it went into what I beleive was an endless loop doing some 'accounting' crap. In both cases (i.e., for both disks) I had to reboot the machine after hours of waiting for something to happen (neither ctrl-C nor ctrl-alt-del would do it). Question(s). 1) Has anyone seen this before? 2) Did I screwed up by rebooting? and 3) How should I do it properly, if what I did was wrong. I must add, the disks/partitions work fine. I have two 80GB partitions as /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdb1 that I can mount, etc., etc., etc..
