Hi,
I'm currently working through Sander Van Vugt's "Beginning the Linux Command Line" (Apress), just for fun. Right now I'm just trying out all the examples in chapter 5, dedicated to managing partitions and logical volumes. After some work with fdisk (which I normally use), the book introduces cfdisk (which I've been using in Slackware days). Curiously enough, CentOS' cfdisk doesn't seem to work.
I'm experimenting with two USB sticks connected to an old NEC Powermate, which appear as /dev/sda resp. /dev/sdb. I can access them with fdisk OK and partition them any way I want. Except I can't seem to open them with cfdisk. When I try it, I get the following error message :
************************************** FATAL ERROR: Cannot seek disk on drive Press any key to exit cfdisk **************************************
Now I don't really mind about that error, since fdisk does anything I need. But I'm just wondering about why that happens.
Any idea?
Niki
