Linux 格式化扩展分区(Extended)

如果你在Linux系统中格式化磁盘时遇到如下错误，那么表示你正在格式化一个扩展分区。

[[email protected] ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1

mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

mkfs.ext4: inode_size (128) * inodes_count (0) too big for a

filesystem with 0 blocks, specify higher inode_ratio (-i)

or lower inode count (-N).

直接格式化扩展分区是不允许的，只能格式化主分区和逻辑分区。那么那么应该如何格式化一个扩展分区呢，我们要么删除该扩展分区，创建一个主分区；要么在扩展分区上创建逻辑分区，如下操作所示

1： 创建逻辑分区

[[email protected] ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It‘s strongly recommended to

         switch off the mode (command ‘c‘) and change display units to

         sectors (command ‘u‘).

2：格式化逻辑分区

[[email protected] ~]# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb5

mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

Filesystem label=

OS type: Linux

Block size=4096 (log=2)

Fragment size=4096 (log=2)

Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks

6553600 inodes, 26214048 blocks

1310702 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user

Maximum filesystem blocks=4294967296

800 block groups

32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group

Creating journal (32768 blocks): done

Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 28 mounts or

180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

3：将挂载信息写入配置文件

编辑[[email protected] ~]# vi /etc/fstab

4：挂载新建的分区

[[email protected] ~]# cd /

[[email protected] /]# mkdir u01

[[email protected] /]# mount -a

[[email protected] /]# df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/vg_gettestlnx06-lv_root

                       44G  2.3G   40G   6% /

tmpfs                 3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm

/dev/sda1             477M   33M  419M   8% /boot

/dev/sdb5              99G   60M   94G   1% /u01
