10<para>Now that we have a blank partition, we can create a file system on it.
11Most widely used in the Linux world is the second extended file system (ext2),
12but with the high-capacity hard disks of today the so-called journaling file
13systems are becoming increasingly popular. Here we will create an ext2 file
14system, but build instructions for other file systems can be found at
15<ulink url="&blfs-root;view/stable/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
16
17<para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition run the following:</para>
18
19<screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
20
21<para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the name of the LFS partition
22(something like <filename>hda5</filename>).</para>
23
24<para>If you created a (new) swap partition you need to initialize it as a
25swap partition too (also known as formatting, like you did above with
26<command>mke2fs</command>) by running:</para>
27
28<screen><userinput>mkswap /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
29
30<para>Replace <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the name of the swap
31partition.</para>
