[opensuse] usb drive format

I have an usb drive new with ntfs on it. if I plug it in, it's mounted. as so, I can't make a file system on it (disk mounted) and I can't umount it (nothing relies on it, but umount think it's used) what is the standard procedure to have mkfs.ext3 run on it? may I use -F without risk (the drive is empty) thanx jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
