[NTLUG:Discuss] repartitioning 2nd hard drive and formatting w/Reiser - HOW?

[Paul Ingendorf]

I would just add it by hand you could use linuxconf or any number of admin tools but I think you would find it easier to just add this line to fstab and be done with it.

/dev/hdc1 /mountpoint reiserfs defaults 1 2

w/Reiser - HOW?


ok...so I just THOUGHT I could work my way around the basic tasks of linux.
DOH!  Now that I've finally copied everything off of /dev/hdc (which used to
be my old server hard drive) I want to repartition it and format it for use
with the ReiserFS.

The only problem is that I now realize that I've never formatted a partition
in Linux outside of the installation routines!  Partitioning I can
handle....but I doubt format /dev/hdc /u /v:extraspace  is gonna help me
any.

ok..one of my searches paid off.  would this command do the job?  Do I need
to create a swap space on that drive too or is just one swap space on
/dev/hda sufficient?

mkfs -t reiserfs  /dev/hdc1

Then is there a command to mount it and add it to /etc/fstab or do I have to
edit the fstab manually?
