Linux – Partitions & Filesystems
Creating a new partition
/sbin/fdisk /dev/hda
In fdisk
, to create a new partition, type n
and follow the prompts, use the w
command to write the changes to the partition table when complete.
Restart the virtual machine & create a file system on the new partition:
/sbin/mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda3 mkdir /mnt/data mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/data
Edit: /etc/fstab
:
/dev/hda3 /mnt/data ext3 defaults 0 0
