#11 problems writing to physical discs
I'm trying to get colinux to create a FS on a raw
partition.
the problem is that any attempt made at writing to the
disk causes colinux to generate (non fatal) error
(printed in the console I used to start colinux, see
bottom for exerpts)
I have no problem accessing the whole disk (gentoo
fdisk works a charm)
access to partitions, of any type, seems to not work at
all though.
errors I got:
mounting (no flags):
((output from the daemon))
end_request: I/O error, dev cobd1, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device cobd1, logical block 0
lost page write due to I/O error on cobd1
unmounting (no flags):
end_request: I/O error, dev cobd1, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device cobd1, logical bloc
lost page write due to I/O error on cobd1
mkreiserfs (or any other raw write to the disk)

same thing happens for any other disk, except cobd3,
cobd4, cobd5 were I have two files and the entire disk
mounted respectively.

Don't use colinux devices with partitioned devices. coLinux
block device isn't partition aware. Set-up coLinux devices
1 per partition.

i did, but any write attempt fils, and then i stumbled
accross the /Device/Hardisk/Partition0 so i added that, and
it works no problem ^__^.
Also, i have a UFS partition adde to the devices, (I played
around with darwin, yay! cept it dosent have a driver I need
for my wlan...) and colinux recognises that one... maybee
i'lltry and use that one for the install...

tracked down the problem, seems to be an issue accessing
partitions created using the Windos NT built-in Partition
Manager. Just hijaked my Darwin Partition wich wasn't
working for me cause i couldn't get the network driver i
needed *grrr*
Yay boot straped one linux system from inside windos... now
to download and install 95 system dependencies ^^

Interesting... Where these partitions logical (created in
the extended partition) or primary partitions? Not sure why
Windows NT Partition Manager should be a problem. Something
to look into I guess.
