[arch-general] talkingarch problems formatting partitions
Hi, I downloaded the talkingarch-20140203-dual.iso yesterday and want to install it onto my desktop system. I booted into the talkingarchlinux system no problems, and used parted to create the partitions on my hard disk. When I go to format the partitions, as soon as I enter the command: # mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 The entire system locks up. I have to do a hard reboot of the system to get anything working again. Any idea why this might be happening?
Have you tried with other filesystem type, to see what happens? Maybe it could be a bug On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 3:07 PM, Don Raikes <DON.RAIKES@oracle.com> wrote:

Hi Ary, I tried using: # mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sda1 And got the same results. After a reboot, I tried: # mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda3 And got a lot of messages about how there is a problem with the disk, so I am now suspecting that my hdd has gone bad, so I will need to wait on installing arch until I have a new drive. -----Original Message----- From: Ary Kleinerman [mailto:akleinerman@buinet.com.ar] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 11:27 AM To: General Discussion about Arch Linux Subject: Re: [arch-general] talkingarch problems formatting partitions Have you tried with other filesystem type, to see what happens?

You can use smartctl to verify a hd problem.
besides you can use "badblocks" Warning because it could be data destructive. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/badblocks Regards, On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 8:44 PM, Simon Brand <simon.brand@postadigitale.de> wrote:

I am trying badblocks to see what I get, but on a 1tb drive it looks like it will take a very long time. -----Original Message----- From: Ary Kleinerman [mailto:akleinerman@buinet.com.ar] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2014 7:51 PM To: General Discussion about Arch Linux Subject: Re: [arch-general] talkingarch problems formatting partitions besides you can use "badblocks" Warning because it could be data destructive. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/badblocks Regards, On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 8:44 PM, Simon Brand <simon.brand@postadigitale.de> wrote:
