Linux - Create Filesystem

On Linux you can create a filesystem using the command line as follows:

# lvcreate -n <log volume name> --size <size> <volume group>
# mkdir <filesystem name>
# mkfs.ext2 -v <log volume full name>
# mount -t ext2 <log volume full name>

Full Example:

# lvcreate -n LogVol24 --size 1G VolGroup00
# mkdir /icdev3f/flash_recovery_area
# mkfs.ext2 -v /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol24
# mount -t ext2 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol24
