It depends on which filesystem you want to use. For ext2 use mke2fs /dev/(partition) for reiserfs use mkreiserfs /dev/(partition) -- Ken Schneider Senior UNIX Administrator Network Administrator kschneider@rtsx.com

The command is mkfs but the Partitioner module of YaST2 may be a better option for beginners. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
