Linux FileSystem Creation
I am new in Linux world. I would like to know how to create file system in Linux. I am using Linux Advance Server in Itanium rx5670 server & Linux kernel version is 2.4.18-e.12smp.
I have configured all the file system during Linux installation. Now I would like to configure some more new file systems.

Re: Linux FileSystem Creation
The simplest part of it is the issuing of the 'mkfs' command.
Before that you'll obviously have to partition the disk (using 'fdisk' or 'sfdisk' or some other partitioning utility), making sure you select the right file system type (usually 83 for 'native linux' or ext2).
These commands like to know which disk your talking about, so you'll have to figrue out whether it's an IDE disk you're using (and thus /dev/hd[abcd]) or a SCSI disk (using /dev/sd[a-z]).
Using the command 'dmesg', or looking at the log file '/var/log/dmesg' should help you figure out what sort of disk it is, and what it is called in the system (look for lines starting with 'sd' or 'hd').
If you need specific help with any step, please don't hesitate to ask, just try to give us a few more details so we can be specific with our advice..

Re: Linux FileSystem Creation
It's not so hard you must create partition
with fdisk/sfdisk and set the type.
After all you need is to
use the mkfs command with parameter of wanted
filesystem and it will create the filesystem
on the partition.

Re: Linux FileSystem Creation
On IA64, you need to use parted to create/delete new partitions. fdisk may NOT work for you.
