  11. <para>Now that we have a blank partition, we can create a file system on it.
  12. Most widely used in the Linux world is the second extended file system (ext2),
  13. but with the high-capacity hard disks of today the so-called journaling file
  14. systems are becoming increasingly popular. Here we will create an ext2 file
  15. system, but build instructions for other file systems can be found at
  16. <ulink url="&blfs-root;view/stable/postlfs/filesystems.html"/>.</para>
  17. <para>To create an ext2 file system on the LFS partition run the following:</para>
  18. <screen><userinput>mke2fs /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
  19. <para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the name of the LFS partition
  20. (something like <filename>hda5</filename>).</para>
  21. <para>If you created a (new) swap partition you need to initialize it as a
  22. swap partition too (also known as formatting, like you did above with
  23. <command>mke2fs</command>) by running:</para>
  24. <screen><userinput>mkswap /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
  25. <para>Replace <replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the name of the swap
  26. partition.</para>
