What do you use to partition and format a new hard drive? <CLI /on> :)
fdisk /dev/sdx# x for whatever device and # for the part no. Read the man pages and writeups on fdisk if you've never used it. Its the best way to go, but you need to know what you're doing. Use mkfs to place a file system on the new partition(s). mkfs is a frontend to the various mkfs.fstype tools under linux. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
