never mkfs an extended partition...!?!!!

i know im on the beginning stages of experience...

and one did happen yday when i tried to mkfs an extended parition... it did try making a filesystem but ended up showing a Segmentation Fault ... and when i reinstalled ...it was gone....

i made a 32 GB extended partition with no logical volumes in it.. it was made as such... and then i tried..

#mke2fs /dev/hda4
it did show me a message... something like its the full harddisk and am i sure abt the filesystem creation...something like that... i simply pressed the 'y' key and proceeded with the process...

and at last.. a Segmentation Fault...

anyways... put the first installation CD and performed an NFS installation...

shell scripting on the process..........

will be out with it soooon..........
