questions. But I’m not sure of why this worked and the original one didn’t.
When I change meta-disk from /dev/sda2[0] to /dev/sda2[1] it worked. Every
sample that I have seen shows an index of 0. The size of the /dev/sda2
partition is 740mb which should be able to handle 5 or so partitions (even
though I will only use 1).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
