<title>Creating a file system on the new partition</title>

<?dbhtml filename="creatingfs.html" dir="chapter04"?>

|
|
<para>Once the partition is created, we have to create a new file system on
|
|
that partition. The standard file system used these days is the ext2 file
|
|
system, but the so-called journaling file systems are becoming increasingly
|
|
popular too. We'll assume that you wish to create an ext2 file system.
|
|
However, build instructions for other file systems may be found at

<ulink url="http://beyond.linuxfromscratch.org/view/cvs/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To create an ext2 file system, use the mke2fs command. The LFS partition
|
|
is used as the only option to the command and the file system is created.</para>
