I have an external HDD which I formatted as NTFS partition in Windows. Now, I formatted this HDD in my linux system using the below command.
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
It was formatted successfully. However, when I run the
fdisk -l command, it gives me the system as NTFS/HPFS.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 121601 976760001 83 HPFS/NTFS
However, the command
df -T /dev/sdb1 was still giving me the file system type as
ext3.
Why is it not showing me the system as Linux when I run the
fdisk -l command?
