Firstly, thanks everyone for helpng me out here. I know now not to try to mount the disk before formatting it.
Still having trouble.
In yast, I select /dev/evms/sdb and _create_ it then pop ups with a window saying "Create a Primary Partition on /dev/sda". I can't get it to to say /dev/sdb.
What you need to do is click on create, in the pop-up widow select sdb by clicking on it's radio button.
Ordinarilly I would have used fdisk, as I'm quite comfortable with its non-expert mode. fdisk /dev/sdb gives me "Unable to read /dev/sdb".
This isn't your Father's fdisk ;), after creating the partition you will need to set the file system type, 83 is normal for linux. There are a few extra steps to the cli method. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
