- All right, let me start with sudo lsblk,
and we can see that I have a disk, sdd,
that's currently unused.
So sudo fdisk on dev sdd,
and if you wanna use ddisk as well, you can,
but it's not really necessary.
It really doesn't make any difference here.
Use N to create a new partition,
P for primary, partition number one
and start at sector 2048.
That is something that will always happen.
The first partition starts always at megabyte number one.
This is sectors of 512 byte each.
So sector 2048 is really megabyte number one,
then last sector, I'm using Plus 1G
to make it a one-gigabyte partition, and that's what'll do.
I'm using W to write, and now we can format it.
So sudo mkfs.ext4 on dev sdd1,
and there we go.
The file system has been created.
So now finally we can mount.
So sudo mount dev sdd1 on /mnt,
and that should issue the mount for us.
You want to verify?
Just type mount and in the last line of the mount output,
you can see the file system that has just been mounted.
Of course, you can also use one
of these other utilities to verify
that your mount has been created successfully.
