<title>Creating a File System on the New Partition</title>

<?dbhtml filename="creatingfilesystem.html"?>

|
|
<para>Now that a blank partition has been set up, the file system can
|
|
be created. The most widely-used system in the Linux world is the
|
|
<systemitem class="filesystem">second extended file
|
|
system</systemitem> (ext2), but with the newer high-capacity hard
|
|
disks, the journaling file systems are becoming increasingly popular.
|
|
Here we will create an ext2 file system, but build instructions for
|
|
other file systems can be found at <ulink
|
|
url="&blfs-root;view/stable/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition, run the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the name of the LFS
|
|
partition (<filename>hda5</filename> in our previous example).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a swap partition was created, it will need to be initialized
|
|
as a swap partition too (also known as formatting, as described above
|
|
with mke2fs) by running the following. If you are using an existing
|
|
swap parition you do not need to format it.</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>mkswap /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Replace <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the name of the swap
|
|
partition.</para>
