Hard Disk Prep From Shell
Hi there. I am a MS experienced admin who has recently been charged with crossing over into the Unix/Linux realms. Years of working with the GUI and DOS have left me somewhat hobbled as I make the transition and try to sift through the mountains of partial information available 
... which leads me to my question at hand.
I am working with Fedora 16. My goal is to achieve the following (not necessarily in the order listed) from the shell. The stuff I have already figured out will have notes after that particular action.
I am grateful for any assistance as I venture into this new world.
... which leads me to my question at hand.I am working with Fedora 16. My goal is to achieve the following (not necessarily in the order listed) from the shell. The stuff I have already figured out will have notes after that particular action.
- attach/mount <?> a disk - this seems to be automatic in Fedora... what if I am on an older machine that does not do this automatically?
- format said disk - easily done from the disk manager GUI but I need to know it from the shell in the event I am on an older machine.
- label said disk - easily done from the disk manager GUI but I need to know it from the shell in the event I am on an older machine.
- partition said disk - so far I can do what I need here with fdisk
- encrypt said disk - easily done from the disk manager GUI but I need to know it from the shell in the event I am on an older machine.
