- I had the same thing happening yesterday when I _tried_ to follow the
- instructions from Drew Eckhardt for reducing a DOS partition size without
- backup/reformat/restore. This is with a Seagate ST01 attached to a
- Quantum 80S drive. I had been running for a while with a 65 meg DOS
- partition on this drive, and a 15 meg Linux partition. I used Norton
- Utilities partition editor option to change partition sizes to 55 meg & 25 meg,
- then changed the number of sectors in the DOS boot sector.
-
- DOS was perfectly happy with the smaller partition, and a mkfs 25353 worked,
- but when I started filling the Linux partition with files, I got a lot of the
- above messages, as soon as 15 meg was put on the drive. It also gave me
- kernel panics with some message about swapping every time I tried to read
- any of the files that went past the 15 meg mark.
-
- It turned out that Linux fdisk showed two different values for the
- "Begin" and "Start" columns of the partition table. The "Begin" value was
- what I had put in with Norton Utilities (25 megs before the end of the disk),
- but the "Start" value was still 15 megs before the end. I solved this by
- using Linux fdisk to delete partitiion 2, then re-add it. Now both "Begin"
- and "Start" have the same cylinder number, and after re-booting I was
- able to mkfs, and fill all 25 megs on the partition.

-
- You should use "fdisk /dev/sda" for the partition table. /dev/sda2 is just
- the bad partition.
