6.2. Creating an ext3 File System
After installation, it is sometimes necessary to create a new ext3 file system. For example, if you add a new disk drive to the system, you may want to partition the drive and use the ext3 file system.
The steps for creating an ext3 file system are as follows:
- Create the partition using
parted
orfdisk
. - Format the partition with the ext3 file system using
mkfs
. - Label the partition using
e2label
. - Create the mount point.
- Add the partition to the
/etc/fstab
file.
