Operations for Filesystem Management
After partitioning, the partitions are formatted so that Linux can use
it
Before you can store data on the partition, you must format it
with a filesystem so Linux can use it.
Filesystems can be referenced using either the device name, the mount point in the virtual directory, or a
special Linux UUID value assigned to the filesystem.
The fsck command uses the /etc/fstab file to automatically determine the filesystem on a storage device
that’s normally mounted on the system.
If the storage device isn’t normally mounted (such as if you just created a filesystem on a new storage
device), you need to use the -t command line option to specify the filesystem type.
