Hey, I'm sure this question has been here before so I'll make it
brief. I just freed up 200 MB of space on my second SCSI drive. I'd
like to disklabel and fdiks this and put a file system on the new
partitions.
1) do I have to hand hack in the cylinder/head/sector
addresses for the partition that I'm adding?
2) What order do I do this in fdisk complains that the disk
doesn't have a valid label but would seem to be the one you should
logically run first?
3) Neither the fdisk nor the disklabel man pages tell me what
program to use to initiallize the filesystem on this drive?
