New mounted directory

Hello

I need to install a new application on my linux server but needs to have a new directory e.g /opt/InCharge as this is the directory that the application would ask for during installation .This directory needs to be mounted
if df -h it should appear as mounted

You don't really mount a directory in Unix. You mount a filesystem or "tie the filesystem to the file tree". The file tree starts at /. Post the ouput of
your df command. Consult this tutorial Unix - File System Basics

this is output of this
Code:
df -h
Filesystem                            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_sinlamobsas01-lv_root   50G  5.2G   42G  12% /
tmpfs                                 7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1                             485M   39M  421M   9% /boot

It wouldn't usually appear in df unless it's on its own disk or partition. There are ways around this but I strongly suspect this is NOT what they had in mind -- for whatever reason they think it ought to be put on its own disk or partition.

Why does the application need its own disk or partition?

No i think you are getting thing wrong here
i am installing an application here and it installs everytiing in this directory /opt/InCharge
it ask for this directory to be created before installing

we don't have any information on your system and I think your level of knowledge is not sufficient to create a new filesystem even if we had such info. The easiest way for you is just to create the required directory, without any underlying filesystems:

Code:
mkdir /opt/InCharge

and install the software.

If you are sure, you need a separate filesystem, the better way is to ask your system administrator.

I agree with all the comments posted. In any case you do have a log of room. If the system administrator wants a separate partition the system admin...or one knowledgeable should create and mount it.
