“Disk /dev/xvda1 doesn't contain a valid partition table”
- by Simpanoz
Iam newbie to EC2 and Ubuntu 11 (EC2 Free tier Ubuntu). I have made following commands.
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/xvdf6
sudo mkdir /db
sudo vim /etc/fstab
/dev/xvdf6 /db ext4 noatime,noexec,nodiratime 0 0
sudo mount /dev/xvdf6 /db
fdisk -l
I got following output. Can some one guide me what I am doing wrong and how it can be rectified.
