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

<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. It's of course up to you to decide which file
|
|
system you want to create, but because we have to assume and work with
|
|
something, we will assume you chose the ext2 file system.</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>

<para>Replace "xxx" by the partition's designation (like hda11).</para>
