adding hard drive failed
- by dennis ditch
i was using von welch's instructions at http://v2kblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/adding-second-hard-drive.html]
to install a 500 gig seagate drive to write the recordings to.
everything seemed to be going ok until
mkfs /dev/sdb1
then we get an error message
mkfs.ext2: inode_size (128) * inodes_count (0) too big for a
filesystem with 0 blocks, specify a higher inode_ratio (-i)
or lower inode count (-N)
my son is trying to help me but this is beyond him.
our knowledge of unix/linux is very limited. at work the support people just sent me a line by line cook book.
i would appreciate any help you can give us.
the computer is a gateway mdp e4000 . mythbuntu is installed on a pata drive and we are adding a sata drive for the second drive.
the bios sees the drive.
