# Partition and Mount ### Generate Partition Let's assume that we have a disk named `/dev/sdb`, then make partition with the disk. ``` sudo fdisk /dev/sdb ``` This will bring up the `fdisk` utility. Then we are going to generate partition: Just press `n` and press `enter` (if you do not want any options and are willing to use the whole disk) ``` Command (m for help): n Partition number (1-128, default 1): First sector (34-1953525134, default 2048): Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-1953525134, default 1953525134): Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 931.5 GiB. ``` Then use `w` to write information to disk ``` Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered. Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks. ``` ### Format Partition Format partition using `mkfs`: ``` sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 ``` This will generate file system of `/dev/sdb1` as `ext4`. If you would like other file systems, use this accordingly. ### Mount Partition Once generating partition and formatting a partition was done, it is time for mounting. Let's assume that we would like to mount partition`/dev/sdb1` to `/home2` directory. ``` mkdir /home2 sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /home2 ``` This will mount `/dev/sdb1` to `/home2` directory. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
