how to create and format hard disk in linux

In Linux, the file system management is extremely important, is the basis of the base; a storage device as long as the format, after the establishment of the file system to use; such as hard drives, floppy disks, mobile storage, CD-ROMs and other backup device, such as tape drives. Access to different storage devices, and the total support of the corresponding file system. This article is written to me previously associated with the file system or to add a summary of the document; Linux beginner would like to help the brothers;
A commonly used file system
In Linux, we often have access to the file system ext3, ext2, reiserfs, fat32, msdos (fat16), as well as NTFS. fat32, msdos (fat16) and NTFS is the Windows or DOS operating system commonly used file system. Linux operating system is commonly used file system ext2, ext3, reiserfs, we are currently reiserfs or ext3, ext2 has been ext3 replaced; CDROM using the ISO 9660 file system; now are the majority of mobile storage fat32 or fat16 file system through discussion LinuxSir.Org situation, the majority of brothers or a machine to install the Windows and Linux, so Linux system to read Windows file system, is also widespread. Read in the Linux file system to other operating systems, but also a knowledge of the more important points; As for the characteristics of a variety of file system, or a deeper theoretical problem, you can go to the corresponding file system to see the official station;
Second, add a new hard drive, or add a new hard disk partition process;

1, on the hard disk partition structure of the planning, this is the theory that it is highly necessary;
Please refer to: "reasonable planning your hard disk partition"
2, first of all have to learn to view the hard drive or mobile hard disk (U disk), or the use of district;
We have to learn to fdisk; du; df tools please refer to: "Linux view disk partition, file system, the use of command and related tools on"
3, for the new hard disk partition or fdisk operation is a necessary tool for learning content;
Please refer to: "an example to explain the use fdisk" 4, format the hard disk partition file system is intended to establish; mounted file system, disk scanning;

For example, formatting the hard disk partition, floppy disk formatted for the mobile hard disk (U disk) storage devices, etc. formatting; method of mounting the file system mount and / etc / fstab to load the boot partition; document system scan and repair fsck; please refer to: "Linux create a file system and mount the file system processes explain"
Third, read the Windows partition, digital storage devices fat32 or fat16 file system read and so on;
Please refer to:
"Fedora core 4.0 on NTFS and FAT32 partitions to load detailed"
"Fedora Core 4.0 HAL to configure plug-and-play removable storage (USB and 1394) the practice of"
Fourth, the file system and storage devices are determined by the kernel;
Linux is not the appropriate file system support, as well as storage devices, are determined by the kernel, not just the file system and storage device is determined by the kernel, all the hardware support is determined by the kernel. For example, we have the mobile storage devices can not be system identification, we should have learned the kernel; please refer to: "compile-core operational processes ─ ─ Guide for the Novice"
V, storage devices and management tools for the supplementary
Are added in
Postscript: the operation of storage device management and file system management is an important part of system administration, I face the problem of the novice is still to explain the almost the same. These documents can only be used as a portal, that is the door leading chef, unfortunately I can not become a teacher. Oh. . . Linux in a small order may be to write a book, so I wrote the document, can only lead the way for you; the road a little bit longer ... ... we need another arm of the common path ... .. .
