Is sufficient to do a 'mkfs /dev/hda4' for generate a ext3 filesystem
like those build during a FC4 setup?

Or I must use in some way tune2fs command?


Dario,

 # mke2fs -j /dev/hda4
or
 # mke2fs -j -L volume_label /dev/hda4

should do the job. See 'man mke2fs' for other options

--Doc


mkfs.ext3

I have do a mkfs .... it is the same things of mkfs.ext3 ... ?
If Yes, I must run  mke2fs (or tune2fs) -j /dev/hda4 ?



tune2fs does NOT create (format) the filesystem.  Use the man pages for
mkfs and see what options there are.

You have been given at least 2 commands to use (mke2fs and mkfs.ext3)
both listed above, that will do what you asked about.

To build an ext3 filesystem:

	mke2fs -j /dev/hda4

Or

	mke2fs /dev/hda4
	tune2fs -j /dev/hda4

The man pages are your friends.  "man mke2fs" and "man tune2fs".
