making reiserfs

16 May 2003

      Hi all,

after partitioning a new disk with fdisk, mkreiserfs won't create the 
filesystem. fdisk reports the following partition:

Disk /dev/hdd: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 155061 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes

    Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdd1             1    155061  78150712+  83  Linux

mkreiserfs reports the following:

mkreiserfs -v 2 /dev/hdd1

<-------------mkreiserfs, 2001------------->
reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j

mkreiserfs: can not create filesystem on that small device (0 blocks).
It should have at least 8212 blocks

What am I doing wrong?

Thanx,

Maarten Hilgenga
