That doesn't create a partition, it creates a filesystem. What is the current output of: fdisk -l /dev/sda > In the fstab I put dev/sda1/ vfat. You mean "/dev/sda1 vfat" ? Why vfat when you created an ext2 partition? > How can I create a mounting point on the scsi disk if I have no repository on the scsi disk and I can not mount the disk because Decide what directory you want to mount your SCSI disk as. Let's call it /myscsi Create a directory /myscsi (mkdir /myscsi) If you have correctly set up the partition and filesystem on your drive, you should now be able to mount it (mount /dev/sda1 /myscsi) If that works, you can safely add an entry to /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /myscsi ext2 defaults 1 2 Your SCSI disk will then be mounted every time you boot.
