Hello,

I am trying to make a n ext2fs filesystem on a 100MB Zip disk on

the Zip250 drive with the im0.18 module loaded.

I am not getting good results:

[[root@river nzanella]# mke2fs /dev/sda
mke2fs 1.10, 24-Apr-97 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/sda is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
Linux ext2 filesystem format
Filesystem label=
24576 inodes, 98304 blocks
4915 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=1
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
12 block groups
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
2048 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
        8193, 16385, 24577, 32769, 40961, 49153, 57345, 65537, 73729,
        81921, 90113

Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
[[root@river nzanella]# mount -t ext2 /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda4,
       or too many mounted file systems
[[root@river nzanella]# df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda5 62431 41360 17847 70% /
/dev/hda7 103413 8196 89877 8% /home
/dev/hda6 766744 677824 49308 93% /usr
/dev/hda1 1030128 586648 443480 57% /dos
[[root@river nzanella]#

Can someone please suggest where I might have gone wrong?

Thanks,

Neil Zanella
