Can someone please give me a brief overview on procedure to create a
filesystem on an unassigned Solaris 7 partition?

Thanks,

use  'newfs -Nv /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s6' or whatever your partition is called

use the following 3 steps:

#format

Quote:>partition
>print

then choose the slice,example 0,then assign slice size,
do it for required partition, then
Quote:>label

your disk partition is done and saved in superblock.

U need to create file system, use the following command

#newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
do it for all partition.
finally mount it by editing /etc/vfstab, follow the other entries exists.

1. Creating a new filesystem in a new partition

Greetings all,

     I have 3 gigs of freespace on my 12 gig HD.  I would like to
partition this space and make it available to both my Red Hat 6.1 OS and
my Win98 OS.  Therefore, it has to be a FAT32 filesystem. I can't use
fdisk in windows to do this because it doesn't recognize linux.  In
other words, windoze fdisk shows 5 gigs of free space when this is
definately not true, linux is taking up 2 gigs. I don't want to use the
win fdisk in fear of it screwing up my linux system. Cfdisk in linux
shows the proper HD setup with the correct amount of freespace, so I
would like to use this program.  My question, however, is which type of
filesystem  should I format the drive in?..it doesn't seem to write
FAT32 filesystems, only FAT16 versions.  Can I choose any FAT16 version
and write that filesystem so that windoze recongnizes it, and then
reformat the partition (new win drive) into a FAT32 from inside windoze?
How should I go about accomplishing this task without screwing anything
up?  Any help is greatly appreciated.

I thank everyone who helps in advance = )
