Use fdisk (it has a help feature) delete all partitions and create a new
single partition.
Then use mkfs.ext3 /dev/da[name of disk]1 to format it.
HTH.

Subject: file system questions
Hi List;
I have a laptop running Fedora 7. I can remove the CD drive and insert a
tray which holds an SATA drive in its place, it's a nice feature since
it gives me a second drive connected the same way the CD drive was (i.e.
not
USB/firewire) so it's fast.
I have a spare drive from when I was running FC5, It has multiple file
systems on it (/boot, /home, /var, etc).
I want to re-vamp it so I end up with a single file system on it which
encompasses the full drive. I suspect I need to use rmfs to remove each
file system and then mkfs to create a single fs on the drive but I'm
quite unfamiliar with the fs commands.
Is this the best approach? any gotcha's, etc? Can I do this with the
second drive un-mounted?
Anyone have any helpful examples of usage for rmfs and mkfs ?
Thanks in advance...
