[coLinux-devel] Adding Disk Drives

[Koushik R. <Kou...@ho...>]

I've installed KDE and gdm etc. but I ran out of space. So what i'm 
planning to do is add a /usr space. But whenever I try to add a 
partition coLinux doesent recognise it. WHat should I do? Here's my 
default.colinux.xml file:(and is it a problem that gvim saves a backup 
of the file as default.colinux.xml~):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<colinux>
    <block_device index="0" 
path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\Debian-3.0r0.ext3.1gb" enabled="true">
    </block_device>
    <block_device index="1" path="\DosDevices\c:\coLinux\usr" enabled 
="true">
       
    </block_device>
    <bootparams>root=/dev/cobd0</bootparams>
    <image path="vmlinux"></image>
    <memory size="64"></memory>
    <network index="0" type="tap" name="TAP"></network>
</colinux>

did you edit your fstab entry to mount the new partition as /usr  (after 
copying the files currently installed under /usr over first?

Please, try to perform following steps and report which one produces a error:
1. Login as root ;-)
2. mkfs.ext3 /dev/cobd1
3. mkdir /mnt/test_usr
4. mount -t ext3 /dev/cobd1 /dev/test_usr

I've done this many times, and I just tried it now. I get an error 
making the ext3 file system. In fact no tool can access it. Fdisk can't, 
CFDisk can't parted can't. So ya thats my prob. I'm so desperate i 
copied the original debian disk image and copied it. Still no luck that 
way. I've also tried the bochs way and dd'ed way. Nothing. :(
