(also tried mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdfx and mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdfx)
and have the following:
this leaves me with 2 questions:
-1.why both partitions appear as fat with fdisk while they appear (correctly) as ext4 with blkid?
-2.as you can see I have got only 55Mega on the second partition:
how to concatenate both partitions into one?
I tried to dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf2 and reformat the sdf1 (hoping the 2nd operation would have used the space left by the 1st operation), in vain. I have tried to reformat sdf1 in vfat (mkfs.vfat) and ext4.
Thank you very much for your help folks !

Essentially, fdisk -l shows that /dev/sda is a drive (750 GB), with 1 partition at /dev/sda1 with system type "Linux".
I'm pretty nooby at working with drives, but I'm pretty sure that the output of:
mount /dev/sda1 /media/int

mkfs.minix
MKFS.MINIX(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual MKFS.MINIX(8)NAME
mkfs.minix - make a Linux MINIX filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.minix [-c|-l filename] [-n namelength] [-i inodecount] [-v] device [size-in-blocks]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs.minix creates a Linux MINIX file-system on a device (usually a disk partition).
The device is usually of the following form:
/dev/hda[1-8] (IDE disk 1)
/dev/hdb[1-8] (IDE disk 2)
/dev/sda[1-8] (SCSI disk 1)
/dev/sdb[1-8] (SCSI disk 2)
The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. It is present only for backwards compatibility. If omit-
ted the size will be determined automatically. Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed.
OPTIONS -c Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file system. If any are found, the count is printed.
-n namelength
Specify the maximum length of filenames. Currently, the only allowable values are 14 and 30. The default is 30. Note that kernels
older than 0.99p7 only accept namelength 14.
-i inodecount
Specify the number of inodes for the filesystem.
-l filename
Read the bad blocks list from filename. The file has one bad block number per line. The count of bad blocks read is printed.
-v Make a Minix version 2 filesystem.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.minix is one of the following:
0 No errors
8 Operational error
16 Usage or syntax error
SEE ALSO mkfs(8), fsck(8), reboot(8)AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.minix command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
