I would like to convert /dev/hdb1 into an ext2 primary partition. All the other partitions and the swap were created using Partition Magic 4.0. I read that if you use PM to create partitions you cannot use linux fdisk. Could I use yast to reformat /dev/hdb1 as an ext2 partition? Should I continue to use PM? Would you have to delete /dev/hdb1? If you delete /dev/hdb1 would that mess up the numbering of your cylinders? Please advise the best way to do this. Below is my partition Table: Disk /dev/hdb: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 1023 cylinders Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 132 266080+ 6 FAT16 /dev/hdb2 203 1023 1655136 5 Extended /dev/hdb3 133 202 141120 83 Linux /dev/hdb5 203 235 66496+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb6 236 660 856768+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb7 661 996 677344+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb8 997 1003 14080+ 83 Linux /dev/hdb9 1004 1023 40288+ 83 Linux Thank in advance, jozien -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
