and I found the explanation as sde1 did not exist yet in /proc/partitions, the udevstart script did not update the node sde1 in /dev and so sde1 is sdd1 which contains only one block.
So do
- Code: Select all
rm /dev/sde1
mknode -m 666 /dev/sde1 8 49
and check it
ls -l /dev/sde1
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 8, 49 2015-05-18 17:13 /dev/sde1
Then you should be able to format sde1
Still errors:
- Code: Select all
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # mknode -m 666 /dev/sde1 8 49
-sh: mknode: not found
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # mknod -m 666 /dev/sde1 8 49
