After you make the partition a file system with: mkfs.ext4 /dev/ You can also type "df -h" to make it more readable.

I then typoe in 'df /dev/sda2' and it says the filesystem is udev. Some questions: what do they mean by udev? and Why isn't it listed as /dev/sda2? Also, how should I get it to list properly? Does this perhaps mean I should reboot? > > bmike1@Presario-CQ57:/media/bmike1/b956bfb0-9bb1-4288-a5a0-d08b6e0145fb$ df > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > /dev/sda1 11963960 5836284 5496892 52% / > none 4 0 4 0% /sys/fs/cgroup > udev 805300 4 805296 1% /dev > tmpfs 164156 1328 162828 1% /run > none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock > none 820772 10460 810312 2% /run/shm > none 102400 36 102364 1% /run/user > /dev/sda6 50264772 32493124 15195264 69% /home > /dev/sda8 51765860 13959272 35153916 29% /media/bmike1/b956bfb0-9bb1-4288-a5a0-d08b6e0145fb > /dev/sda7 85924248 30300452 51235956 38% /media/bmike1/entertainment > bmike1@Presario-CQ57:/media/bmike1/b956bfb0-9bb1-4288-a5a0-d08b6e0145fb$ df /dev/sda2 > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on > udev 805300 4 805296 1% /dev > bmike1@Presario-CQ57:/media/bmike1/b956bfb0-9bb1-4288-a5a0-d08b6e0145fb$ > > :-)~MIKE~(-: > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
