Hi, I am using kernel 2.6.15.4. On my system, I first created a partition with EXT3 and put some data on it. Later, I deleted the partition, and re-created another partition with the same starting block number and a higher ending block number. I intended to format it with another filesystem, but surprisingly (or maybe just to me), the superblock of the partition had not changed. I could still mount the new partition as the same old filesystem. I could see all the files which was present earlier. Doing 'df' showed me the older partition details (size, % used etc.). Shouldn't the superblock be changed/deleted once the partition is deleted? I tried a reboot, but the output remained the same. -- Sumit - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
