My friends noticed that the $sub. I've gone through the sources and found that the e2fsprogs does the stat() on the requested device filename. I've added the stat() emulation for the XHDI into tools/IO/mint_io.c assuming that it could help. I didn't try to compile the source however. Frank, could you build a test RPM or just another release with the new mint_io.c incorporated, please? Note: It can help to execute the mke2fs with the -F flag in which case the stat() call is skipped. So, could you try "mke2fs -F r:" out there? ;) Here is a snippet of what it really says: ====== Cut ====== $ mke2fs r: Could not stat r --- No such file or directory The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? ====== End ====== best regards STan
