When it's over 200 megs, it would hang on writing to the inode tables for ~20 seconds, then spit out many i/o errors. Is there a reason why mkfs would work for partitions <200 megs and not for partitions larger than that? Kernel: 2.4.2-2 mke2fs: 1.19 CPU: Pentium Pro 200mhz Memory: 48mb physical, 256mb swap I would really appreciate any help, and please cc: any responses to this to this email address because I'm not on the mailing list.
