Thread: Partitioning causes "mkfs.ext3: invalid blocks count" error.

-

first off, ca provided here.

note working command line since preparing partitions prior installation in order ensure apple file system required first 3 partitions remains intact.

have appletv trying install mythbuntu (ubuntu 9.10 os) onto separate partition. process taking 40gb drive , breaking 6 separate partitions first 3 created. remaining 3 created original 4th partition. using "parted" per instructions atv-bootloader site (the site seems have gone quite due problems spammers) talk partitioning dries use different sizing wanting use. namely building media partition sda4 , sda5 become ubunt installed partition sda6 swap.

instruction set given appears 4096 byte block count requested linux partition. in following commands execute keep getting error of "mkfs.ext3: invalid blocks count".

# parted -s /dev/sda rm 4
# parted -s /dev/sda rm 5
# parted -s /dev/sda rm 6
# parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary hfs 2732016s 68595695s
# parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 68595696s 76984304s
# parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary linux-swap 76984305s 78140126s
# partprobe /dev/sda
# mkfs.hfsplus -j -v media /dev/sda4
initialized /dev/sda4 31 gb hfs plus volume 8192k journal
# mkfs.ext3 b -b 4096 -l linux /dev/sda5
mke2fs 1.40.8 (13-mar-2008)
mkfs.ext3: invalid blocks count - /dev/sda5

makes me ask 2 questions.

1.) ubuntu require block size of 4096?

2.) if not block size requires?

3.) regardless, solution proper block count using "parted" command line?

is there no 1 can problem?

Valutazione Template - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

salve, prima di installare joomla, vorrei porvi tre semplici domande: 1) l'ultima versione in italiano di joomla, supporta questo template prodotto da gavik? loro scrivono che non è un semplice template, ma una vera e propria suite, ma vorrei una vostra opinione. qui sono descritte le funzioni della suite. 2) per sfruttare gli elementi che si vedono nella pagina, ad esempio quello in alto sinistra dove scorrono le notizie, occorre installare qualche componente aggiuntivo? 3) futuri upgrade alla piattaforma joomla, potranno inficiare il funzionamento o la compatibilità del template? vi ringrazio anticipatamente della disponibilità. 1) non vedo nulla di particolare se non una miriade di posizioni per blocchi 2) è un modulo se non sbaglio pagamento, ma adesso non ricordo bene 3) no. ti ricordo che devi installare joomla  1.0.12 Board index Joomla!
