2<title>Creating a file system on the new partition</title>
3<?dbhtml filename="creatingfs.html" dir="chapter03"?>

5<para>Now that we have a blank partition, we can create a file system on it.
6Most widely used in the Linux world is the second extended file system (ext2),
7but with the high-capacity hard disks of today the so-called journaling file
8systems are becoming increasingly popular. Here we will create an ext2 file
9system, but build instructions for other file systems can be found at <ulink
10url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
11
12<para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition run the following:</para>
13
14<para><screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/xxx</userinput></screen></para>
15
16<para>Replace <filename>xxx</filename> with the name of the LFS partition
17(something like <filename>hda5</filename>).</para>
18
19<para>If you created a (new) swap partition you need to initialize it as a
20swap partition too (also known as formatting, like you did above with
21<userinput>mke2fs</userinput>) by running:</para>
22
23<para><screen><userinput>mkswap /dev/yyy</userinput></screen></para>
24
25<para>Replace <filename>yyy</filename> with the name of the swap
26partition.</para>
