Hi Eric,
There aren't any partition on that drive mounted when I fdisked it. Actually
it's the second IDE drive, which is /dev/hdb. I know in my original email
mentioned /dev/hda2. It should be /dev/hdb2.
Anyway, I ran mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.reiserfs and they both formatted it fine.
Just that mkfs.xfs -f /dev/hdb2 thinks it's busy or in use.
Could you tell me where in the src code of mkfs.xfs I can modify to force it
to format?
Thanks,
Quang
