Welp, today I had to search my brain to figure out how to create new filesystems on a linux distribution since I’ve been focusing more on Solaris lately. Just incase others need this info and do google searches, I’ll put the info on here.<\/p>\n
First thing you do is figure out how your disk is connected. Usually this is seen in the dmesg<\/strong> command. If you’re using SCSI with RAID, type mount<\/strong>. What you’ll see there is something like \/dev\/ida\/c0d0p1. When you see that and you don’t see your other disks, try doing this command:<\/p>\n fdisk \/dev\/ida\/c1d0<\/strong><\/p>\n If it shows output that means you’ve found your disk!<\/p>\n From there you type “p” and press enter to show the partition table. “n” will allow you to create a new table and just follow the instructions after that. After completing the new table you type “w” to write the partition table to disk. mkfs -t ext3 \/dev\/ida\/c1d0p1<\/em><\/p>\n Now you edit your \/etc\/fstab file with something like this:<\/p>\n \/dev\/ida\/c1d0p1 \/media ext3 defaults 0 0<\/em><\/p>\n Mount your new partition:<\/p>\n mount \/media<\/em><\/p>\n And you’re done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welp, today I had to search my brain to figure out how to create new filesystems on a linux distribution…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1325,"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14\/revisions\/1325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.theblane.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nOnce that’s done it’s time to make the filesystem. For this I use the mkfs<\/strong> command. Here is an example of the syntax:<\/p>\n
