Partitioning and Formatting Second Hard Drive - (ext3)

Partioining have to do after the system reboot.
This is for collect the free space and configure.

First, you will need to run the fdisk command in order to partition the disk. For this example, I only want to create one ext3 partition. Here is an example session:

1)For HP system ---> lv
For sun OS ---> NEWFS

For fedora issue the command
fdisk /dev/hda

2)select p to print the partitioned space
it will be listed in cylinder wise

dev/hda1 1 255
dev/hda2 .. ...
dev/hda7 4718 5099

3)if i want to partition for free space into hda8
select the command n
give the first cylinder . to 51000
+MB to 34000MB (remaining space)
save and exit

4)Issue command partprobe(reboot the system after partition)

creating ext3 File system
mkfs ("make a filesystem") is the standard Unix command for formatting a disk partition with a specific filesystem. The basic syntax is:

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdsa8


The ext3 or third extended filesystem is a journalled file system that is commonly used by the GNU/Linux operating system. It is the default file system for many popular Linux distributions.


Mounting the file system
Now that the new hard drive is partition and formated, the last step is to mount the new drive. For this example, I will be mounting the new hard drive on the directory /hda8.

if u want u can make one directory freespace

mkdir fressspace

mount /fev/hda /fressapace/

if u do unmount /fressspace/ then the space will add into none folder.

at the end of the section u have to add the fresspace to /etc/fstab/
add the fressapce at end and like

/dev/hda8/ /fressapce/ ext3 defaults 1 2

save and reboot the system reboot -f
