New to this board with no credits to spend on requesting help
Like probably many others before me I'd like to enhance my Goflex Home into something more flexible and probably a fine way for me to learn more about working with Linux in general.For now, however I'd appreciate if I can start with a sharing a problem I ran into, trying to put Archlinux on my Goflex Home by following the online instructions.
I'll paste the (I think) relevant portion here:
bash-3.2# ./mke2fs -j /dev/sda1
mke2fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
61054976 inodes, 244190000 blocks
12209500 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=0
7453 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
8192 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208,
4096000, 7962624, 11239424, 20480000, 23887872, 71663616, 78675968,
102400000, 214990848
Writing inode tables: Killed453
bash-3.2# mkdir usb
bash-3.2# mount /dev/sda1 usb
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
From what I can make of this (do I make it clear now I'm no linux expert (yet)?
) I started formatting the drive and somewhere the process was killed/stopped/crashed ?My question is, really simply put: Now what?
(My thoughts at this point: sure I could try to try out things myself, but then this is a device I'd still like to use and not throw it away in a physical /dev/0).
Hope this is an easy one
Thanks in advance!
