mke2fs what is the command to format a FAT23 or SWAP hd?
OK-if mke2fs does EXT2, what is the command for FAT32 and Swap?
Thanks. |
Coming from a red-hat background, I personally use the commands like 'mkfs.ext3' and 'mkfs.vfat' (FAT 32). Not sure if those are universal or not tho, never done swap.

mkswap for swap,
not sure about fat32 |
Hi,
Code:
excerpt from 'man mkfs'; Code:
excerpt from 'man mkswap'; |
OK-what is the command to mount swap-
Code:
/dev/hdc looks like swapspace I tried swapspace/swap, etc. What is the proper command? |
you don't mount a swapspace, since it has no filessystem
To start using a swap partition you can enter this command. Code:
swapon /dev/hda2 Code:
swapon -s |
