alexis> perhaps I'm wrong, but mkfs need a partition device (/dev/sdb1 alexis> for example), not the device itself (/dev/sdb), doesn't it ? Nobody forces you to partition a disk. If you don't have to deal with other operating systems, using the unpartitioned device is just fine. alexis> what happen with a device argument (boot sector, partitions, etc etc) ? Boot sector and partitions get overwritten. -- Martin K.
