I've created a partition with GNU Parted, how do I mount the partition?
The manual information at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/parted.html is good, but I am sure about how I mount the partition afterwards.
Thanks,

drbdmeta
DRBDMETA(8) System Administration DRBDMETA(8)
NAME
drbdmeta - DRBD's meta data management tool .
SYNOPSIS
drbdmeta [--force] [--ignore-sanity-checks] {device} {v06 minor | v07 meta_dev index | v08 meta_dev index} {command} [cmd args...]
DESCRIPTION
Drbdmeta is used to create, display and modify the contents of DRBD's meta data storage. Usually you do not want to use this command
directly, but start it via the frontend drbdadm(8).
This command only works if the DRBD resource is currently down, or at least detached from its backing storage. The first parameter is the
device node associated to the resource. With the second parameter you can select the version of the meta data. Currently all major DRBD
releases (0.6, 0.7 and 8) are supported.
OPTIONS
--force
All questions that get asked by drbdmeta are treated as if the user answered 'yes'.
--ignore-sanity-checks
Some sanity checks cause drbdmeta to terminate. E.g. if a file system image would get destroyed by creating the meta data. By using
that option you can force drbdmeta to ignore these checks.
COMMANDS
create-md
Create-md initializes the meta data storage. This needs to be done before a DRBD resource can be taken online for the first time. In
case there is already a meta data signature of an older format in place, drbdmeta will ask you if it should convert the older format to
the selected format.
get-gi
Get-gi shows a short textual representation of the data generation identifier. In version 0.6 and 0.7 these are generation counters,
while in version 8 it is a set of UUIDs.
show-gi
Show-gi prints a textual representation of the data generation identifiers including explanatory information.
dump-md
Dumps the whole contents of the meta data storage including the stored bit-map and activity-log in a textual representation.
outdate
Sets the outdated flag in the meta data. This is used by the peer node when it wants to become primary, but cannot communicate with the
DRBD stack on this host.
dstate
Prints the state of the data on the backing storage. The output is always followed by '/DUnknown' since drbdmeta only looks at the
local meta data.
check-resize
Examines the device size of a backing device, and it's last known device size, recorded in a file /var/lib/drbd/drbd-minor-??.lkbd. In
case the size of the backing device changed, and the meta data can be found at the old position, it moves the meta data to the right
position at the end of the block device.
EXPERT'S COMMANDS
Drbdmeta allows you to modify the meta data as well. This is intentionally omitted for the command's usage output, since you should only
use it if you really know what you are doing. By setting the generation identifiers to wrong values, you risk to overwrite your up-to-data
data with an older version of your data.
set-gi gi
Set-gi allows you to set the generation identifier. Gi needs to be a generation counter for the 0.6 and 0.7 format, and a UUID set for
8.x. Specify it in the same way as get-gi shows it.
restore-md dump_file
Reads the dump_file and writes it to the meta data.

This document was revised for version 8.3.2 of the DRBD distribution.
