Full Discussion: Creating file systems (LVM v Multipath)
Operating Systems Linux Creating file systems (LVM v Multipath) Post 302956600 by fretagi on Thursday 1st of October 2015 09:03:31 AM

Please see if this is correct:

1st step:
Code:
 ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdc  /dev/sdd  /dev/sde  /dev/sdf  /dev/sdg  /dev/sdh  /dev/sdi  /dev/sdj

2nd step:
Code:
fdisk /dev/sdj
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xde657be6.
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
         switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to
         sectors (command 'u').

Command (m for help):

3rd step:
Code:
Command (m for help): n
Command action
   e   extended
   p   primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4):

I am now stuck, because there other file systems on this system with other partitions, so I dont know what number to choose.

Please help

repartit

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME

       repartition - load a partition table

SYNOPSIS

       repartition device [partition-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Repartition  uploads  a new partition table for the partitions of device.  The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
       given, device otherwise.  Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload  a  partition
       or a subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
       are coming from partition-file.

EXAMPLES

       repartition /dev/hd0
       repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table

       Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
       latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The new table is printed on standard output.

FILES

       /dev/hd[0-9]

SEE ALSO

       hd(4), part(8).

BUGS

       The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
