-<title>Creating a file system on the new partition</title>
-<?dbhtml filename="creatingfs.html" dir="chapter03"?>
-
-<para>Now that we have a blank partition, we can create a file system on it.
-Most widely used in the Linux world is the second extended file system (ext2),
-but with the high-capacity hard disks of today the so-called journaling file
-systems are becoming increasingly popular. Here we will create an ext2 file
-system, but build instructions for other file systems can be found at <ulink
-url="&blfs-root;view/stable/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
-
-<para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition run the following:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/xxx</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>Replace <filename>xxx</filename> with the name of the LFS partition
-(something like <filename>hda5</filename>).</para>
-
-<para>If you created a (new) swap partition you need to initialize it as a
-swap partition too (also known as formatting, like you did above with
-<userinput>mke2fs</userinput>) by running:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>mkswap /dev/yyy</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>Replace <filename>yyy</filename> with the name of the swap
-partition.</para>
