Unable to create a partition
Trying to format and use a small 40G spot on my disk, but seem unable to partition and/or format it. It is marked as free space in the extended part of the drive. Disk Utility complained saying:
helper exited with exit code 1: In part_add_partition:
device_
start=204470221824
size=40192967680, type =0x83
MSDOS_MAGIC found
...
My fstab looks like this:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=ef41d98d-
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=8048c0f6-
# swap was on /dev/sda7 during installation
UUID=78e8e587-
Any ideas?
