-<para>See testing</para>
+<para>Now that a blank partition has been set up, the file system can
+be created. The most widely-used system in the Linux world is the
+second extended file system (ext2), but with the newer high-capacity
+hard disks, the journaling file systems are becoming increasingly
+popular.  Here we will create an ext2 file system, but build
+instructions for other file systems can be found at <ulink
+url="&blfs-root;view/svn/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
+
+<para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition, run the following:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the name of the LFS
+partition (<filename class="devicefile">hda5</filename> in our previous example).</para>
+
+<para>If a swap partition was created, it will need to be initialized
+as a swap partition too (also known as formatting, as described above
+with <command>mke2fs</command>) by running the following. If you are using an existing
+swap partition, there is no need to format it.</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mkswap /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Replace <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the name of the swap
+partition.</para>
