hi,

I am responding back to the partition problem which i had posted earleir.

I used fdisk /dev/sda and created a new partition 'sda10'.
when i do fstab -l, it shows as
fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19452 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             1         7     56196   de  Dell Utility

/dev/sda10         3365     19452 129226828+  83  Linux

Now when I run 
  mkfs -V -t ext3 -L /home /dev/sda10
I get this error
mkfs version 2.11y (Oct  6 2004)
mkfs.ext3 -L /space /dev/sda10
mke2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
mkfs.ext3: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem size

Could someone help inthis regard
