2 TB hard disk format

[gromit4x4]

Hello to all,
I am installing another hard drive and have followed the wiki: http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Adding_ ... o_your_HDA I am using Fedora 14

I partitioned with fdisk to align my partition then formated with,

Code: Select all

​mkfs.ext4 -j /dev/sdb1​

But when I back up my fstab and output the block id's I get

Code: Select all

/dev/sdb1: UUID="a932f285-96c3-4c6a-a983-ea05bfbef322" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

not ext4
So should I add this drive as,

Code: Select all

UUID=a932f285-96c3-4c6a-a983-ea05bfbef322 /var/hda/drives/drive1 ext3 defaults 1 1

or,

Code: Select all

UUID=a932f285-96c3-4c6a-a983-ea05bfbef322 /var/hda/drives/drive1 ext4 defaults 1 1

Or perhaps I have gone wrong somewhere?

Use whatever the hda-diskmount script generated for the fstab line. That is the safest way.

Thank you for your input. Is ther a reason it did ext3 and not ext4?

Honestly hard to say. You can try setting it as ext4 in the fstab and it should work.
