1 Quick(only creates the filesystem)
2 Standard(adds a low-level format to the quick mode)
3 Thorough
Whats the 'low-level' format means? and when it should be use?
when I should choose 'Quick' mode ?
and when I should choose 'Standard' mode ?
Second, when I issue 'mke2fs /dev/fd0 ' or 'mkfs /dev/hda9' it didnt asks about Quick and Standard modes... why ???
Many Thanks
Maaz

Re: diff b/w format modes
It should be use when you cannot use the standard method.
As for the usage, gloppy offers the same option as Windows would do !
The mke2fs command create the filesystem on a disk.

SolutionThe second formatting step is high-level formatting. This is the process of creating the disk's logical structures such as the file allocation table and root directory. The high-level format uses the structures created by the low-level format to prepare the disk to hold files using the chosen file system.
