Have a usb2.0 hard drive, currently formatted ntfs so not presently
usable on FC4, which recognizes it and creates /mnt/PocketDrive mount
point for /dev/sdb1
if I fdisk /dev/sdb1 and print, this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1p1 ? 13578 119522 850995205 72 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdb1p2 ? 45382 79243 271987362 74 Unknown
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdb1p3 ? 10499 10499 0 65 Novell Netware 386
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sdb1p4 167628 167631 25817+ 0 Empty
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.
Partition table entries are not in disk order
//end fdisk print
What a mess. Anyway, is any of this required for USB access. Can I blow
it all away, create linux partition and mkfs the drive??
Will no longer work on WinXP, but OK for FC4 right??
Thanks.
