Creating a new file system in Linux

Here how you would create a new file system :

1. First create a new partition using fdisk. eg:
   fdisk /dev/sdb     –> Options (m , n,p,1,  ,t,8e,w)
2. Create volume group
   vgcreate myvg /dev/sdb1
3. Create a logical volume
   lvcreate -L 512G -n my_lv myvg
4. mkfs.ext4 /dev/myvg/my_lv
5. You can optionally add the file system in /etc/fstab to automatically mount
6. Mount /myfilesystem
