Hi all
I hope this is the right place to ask this:
I wanted to use a 2 TB disk (as mythtv recordings drive) with the xfs
filesystem. Until now I had jfs but I wanted to switch it.
Since I have two drives of the same type I formatted the new drive with
xfs and copied the recordings onto it. Today I saw that I created the
filesystem over the disk instead of the partition:
~# mkfs.xfs /dev/sdk
These are my two disks:
/dev/sdi1 jfs 1.9T 1.9T 3.9G 100% /mnt/recordings
/dev/sdk xfs 1.9T 1.9T 3.3G 100% /mnt/recordings_temp
Is it ok to use the disk instead of the partition or why do I have to
create the filesystem on a partition?
Best regards
Ramon
