Appendix G Configuring a Linux Server G-7

2. Take the device that you ran fdisk on and run the following command to create an 

ext3 file system:

where x is the partition on which you are creating a file system. Replace x with 1 
because there is only one partition.

Creating a Mount Point and Mounting the File 
System Manually

1. Go to the directory where you want to create a directory that will be the mount point. 

Then type the following command:

where name is the name of the new directory.

2. To mount your file system, type the following:

where x is 1 for this partition and the directory-path is the directory that was created 
and its location.

G.8

Mounting the File System Automatically

You can label the partition so that it can be entered in the fstab file for mounting the 
partition automatically at bootup. The use of the label and fstab file is a faster 
operation than mounting the file system manually with a device path.

1. Type the following command to add a label to the partition:

where x is 1 for this partition and directory-path is the directory that was created and 
its location.

2. Edit the /etc/fstab file and add the following line:

x) 

x) / directory-path

x) / directory-path
