I followed below procedure for creating various partitions in linux
[root@ovmapp1 ~]# fdisk /dev/sdc Command (m for help): d Selected partition 1 Command (m for help): p ===> print partition table Disk /dev/sdc: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 652 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Command (m for help): n ===> New partition Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): Value out of range. Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-652, default 1): Using default value 1 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-652, default 652): Using default value 652 Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdc: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 652 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 652 5237158+ 83 Linux Command (m for help): Command (m for help): w ===> write to partition tabel, If write is not given partion table will not be modified The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks. [root@ovmapp1 ~]# [root@ovmapp1 ~]# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 ===> Creating ext3 format file system mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 655360 inodes, 1309289 blocks 65464 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=1342177280 40 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (8192 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 26 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. [root@ovmapp1 ~]# e2label /dev/sdc1 /arch ===> e2label command will assign label to the partition, [root@ovmapp1 ~]# Before mounting the new partition, below is the output of df -h [root@ovmapp1 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 9.0G 6.5G 2.1G 77% / none 295M 0 295M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 9.7G 6.2G 3.0G 68% /oracle /dev/sdb1 9.9G 55M 9.3G 1% /oradata [root@ovmapp1 ~]# [root@ovmapp1 ~]# mkdir /arch [root@ovmapp1 ~]# [root@ovmapp1 ~]# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc1 /arch ===> Mounting ext3 file system to a directory [root@ovmapp1 ~]# [root@ovmapp1 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 9.0G 6.5G 2.1G 77% / none 295M 0 295M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 9.7G 6.2G 3.0G 68% /oracle /dev/sdb1 9.9G 55M 9.3G 1% /oradata /dev/sdc1 5.0G 43M 4.7G 1% /arch [root@ovmapp1 ~]# Add the entries to /etc/fstab file to automount the new partition after evry reboot [root@ovmapp1 ~]# cat /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/oracle /oracle ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/oradata /oradata ext3 defaults 0 0 LABEL=/arch /arch ext3 defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
