Creating partitions in Red Hat Enterprise 4
Open a shell session and run the following commands to create a repository. The
Ext3 file system should be used to format the repository.
Procedure
Step 1 Create new partitions:
Shell> parted -- /dev/sdb mkpart primary ext3 0 -0
Step 2 Use mkfs to make the partitions:
Shell> mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1
Note: This command destroys all data that resides on that partition.
Step 3 Create a new directory.
shell> mkdir /media1
Note: Each volume needs a unique directory for a mount point.
Step 4 Add a new line to /etc/fstab, substituting the appropriate device name and mount
point:
dev/sdb1 /media1 ext3 defaults 1 2
Step 5 Mount the newly created partitions. (Usage: mount /dev/sdb1 /media1.)
Step 6 Change ownership of the mounted partitions to nobody.nobody:
shell> chown nobody: /media1
