[coLinux-devel] Invalid argument zeroing block?

[Richard G. <ric...@ri...>]

On one of my systems I'm having some problems adding a new cobd device. I
tried using Sean's 4gb image, mounted via the xml, used fdisk to put a
partition on it, but then mke2fs (or ext3) bombs out with "Invalid argument
zeroing block 536846320 at end of filesystem". fdisk, cfdisk, and sfdisk all
report that the partitions I create are screwy, like -19349 blocks or
something.

I tried creating a 3gb image by copy /b the Debian 1gb image, but the same
problem happens (different block sizes of course). sfdisk -g (get geometry)
says the kernel can't determine the geometry.

I've done this fine on my work system but doesn't appear to be working on
the home system. I actually already have a cobd0, cobd1, and cobd2, so this
makes cobd3. Has anyone else run into this?


Thanks!
Richard
