I have not used fdisk for a LOOOONG time, and could not remember the commands, but -l would probably provide a list of what was there, so I did that. 'm' for listing the options. Menu?

Anyway, thanks, o did the trick, I now have a 1Gb EXT4 partition. Thing is, after the formatting as EXT4, 50Gb is used with nothing on the disk!


So, what options did you use when you ran mke2fs? By default 5% of the disk is "reserved for root", totally stupid default. Use tune2fs -m 0 to recover this space.

I used the Gnome DiskUtility to do the 'dirty work' for me, and paid the price. :)
