Hello Team,

Am new to Linux and open to learn from the wealth of experience of professional in the field and member of this forum.

How to create mount point and file system on a Linux Server

Possible resolution is appreciated.

Thank you.

Ok, so what have you tried so far?

This sounds VERY much like a homework question. Read the LQ Rules, and also the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature; doing basic research should be something you do first, before posting. Because both of these things can be easily found with an Internet search...much like you found THIS site.

As TenTenths asks; what have you tried so far?

With the "mount" and "mkfs" commands.

Use the mkdir command, or equivalent. Then edit /etc/fstab using an editor with superuser permission, to configure its use.

A filesystem needs a place to be put. Most commonly they are put on a partition created by a partitioning utility, but they may be placed directly on certain media types, such as a USB stick, or on a logical volume, such as one managed by LVM, or on a RAID device. The appropriate tool to create the filesystem itself once the location is determined depends on the filesystem type desired, such as mkfs.ext4.

Some distros may offer a consolidation of these discrete processes using a program with a graphical interface, such as YaST.

Generally a mount point is an inode (a file or a directory) on the existing file system.
On Linux it must be a directory, and there you mount (attach) the top directory of another file system.
The mounted directory supersedes the mount point. The mount point directory should be empty, because its contents (the whole directory tree) would be no longer accessable but still occupying space.

The df command, run on a file or a directory, gives info about its file system.

I believe that this topic has been "done to death" already on the Internet. No need to repeat anything here.
