 <title>Creating a file system on the new partition</title>
 <?dbhtml filename="creatingfs.html" dir="chapter04"?>
 
-<para>Once the partition is created, we have to create a new file system on
-that partition. The standard file system used these days is the ext2 file
-system, but the so-called journaling file systems are becoming increasingly
-popular too. We'll assume that you wish to create an ext2 file system.
-However, build instructions for other file systems may be found at
-<ulink url="http://beyond.linuxfromscratch.org/view/cvs/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
+<para>Now the partition has been made, 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="http://beyond.linuxfromscratch.org/view/cvs/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
 
-<para>To create an ext2 file system, use the mke2fs command. The LFS partition
-is used as the only option to the command and the file system is created.</para>
+<para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition run the following:</para>
 
 <para><screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/xxx</userinput></screen></para>
 
-<para>Replace "xxx" by the partition's designation (like hda11).</para>
+<para>Replace <filename>xxx</filename> with the name of the LFS partition
+(something like <filename>hda5</filename>).</para>
