Question

1. Create a new virtual hard drive, format it as ext4, and mount it to your filesystem in Fedora?

I already created the virtual hard drive. I just need clarification on how to format it and mount to filesystem.

Answer 1

To create a hard drive and format it as ext4 and then mounting in fedora is done as follows:

The ext4 is a journaling filesystem in fedora which is a Linux distribution.

Now to start creating a new partition

Step1: Use command # fdisk-l or #parted-l, to view then partition on the hard drive

Step2: Noe create a portion on the drive using the command

#parted /dev/sdb

then label the drive

(parted) mklabel msdos command

Step 3: Then create a partition using the mkpart command as:

(parted) mkpart

then confirm the system that it is ext4 type partition and also give the size of the partition.

Step 4: Use the print command to see the partition.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now to format the partition, this is as follows:

Step 1: Use command # mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 to make the format to the new partition.

Step 2: then we label the partition using the e4label command this a sfollows:

# e4label /dev/sdb1 disk2-part2

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Now to mount the new partition to the fedora file system command.

Step 1: Create a mount point in the file system for the partition, this is as follows:

# mkdir /mnt/disk2-part-2

# mount /dev/sdb1 //mnt/disk2-part-2

The above will mount the partition on the fedora file system.

------------------------------------------------------

Now to view the new partition use the command #df-hT to view all the partitions.

Now, all the above three steps will create, format, and mount the partition on the file system on fedora a Linux distribution.
