When I tried install the RH 9.0 on old DELL computer. the box has 4 scsi
hard drive. When I try to partition the drive use Diskdurik, I always get
free on the file system on one of the partition (the file system can not be
assigned). It seems to me that I can not use that part of partition.
how do I fixed the problem (use all available spaces, no free space
partition)?
see table below, /dev/sdb2 got no file system. (not exactly show on the
time I install, but similar)
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Mounted on
/dev/sda1 * 1 39 157216+ 6 Linux /
/dev/sdb1 1 332 157248 83 swap
/dev/sdb2 333 620 1161216 5 free
/dev/sdc 1 459 512032+ 83 Linux /home
/dev/sdd 1 523 258016+ 83 Linux /misc
Please note: the device name may not correct but similar to the my problem.
same as values of end, blocks.
my point is I can not get the /dev/sdb2 to set up as Linux systems.
if I try to do it, the swap partition will goes to /dev/sda1, and sda has 2
partitions.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Mounted on
/dev/sda1 * 1 39 157216+ 6 Linux /
/dev/sda2 294 332 157248 83 swap
/dev/sdb 1 620 1161216 5 Linux /*** (don't remember)
/dev/sdc 1 459 512032+ 83 Linux /home
/dev/sdd 1 523 258016+ 83 Linux /misc
Any ideas, thanks
