| |
Hello,
I am using dual boot configuration Win95/linux with a shared swap file. After doing swapoff /dev/hda5 I try to format the partition. However, I am unable to do it because of some I/O errors. I cannot format it even after doing several syncs and waiting a few minutes. When I boot without enabling swap the partition can be formatted normally. Kernel 2.2.14.
Has anyone encountered this problem ? In 2.2.1 it worked.
