Nothing changed. fdisk reported the changes still. OK. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. 1. Partition a drive 2. Reboot 3. Now the kernel should see the partitions and let you create file systems on them. You rebooted and fdisk sees the partitions now. Fine. Please try to mke2fs /dev/md0p1 That should work. If it doesn't, devfs could be the problem. Could you please tell us which kernel version you're using? Carl-Daniel
