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 or
fdisk.
-
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.
