Once the partition is created, we have to create a new file system on
that partition. To create an ext2 file system, use the mke2fs command.
To create a reiser file system, the mkreiserfs command should be used.
The new partition is used as the only option to the command and the file

that partition. The standard file system used these days is the ext2
file system, but the socalled journaling file systems are becoming
increasingly popular too. It's of course up to you to decide which file
system you want to create, but because we have to assume and work with
something, we will assume you chose the ext2 file system.

In this chapter, the partition that is going to host the LFS system is
going to be prepared. A new partition will be created, a file
system will be created on it, and the directory structure will be
created. When this is done, we can move on to the next chapter and start
building a new Linux system from scratch.

Now that we have created a file system, it is ready for use. All we have
to do to be able to access it (as in reading data from and writing data to
it) is mount it. If it is mounted under /mnt/lfs, this partition can
be accessed by going to the /mnt/lfs directory and then doing whatever
needed to do. This book will assume that the partition was mounted
under /mnt/lfs. It doesn't matter which directory is chosen, the
user just has to make sure that he remembers what he chose.
