Books for you

If
you are connected to an existing AIX or IRIX network or you are transitioning from one
of these enterprise Unixes, stick with the file system you have.
Otherwise, selecting the default ext3 is probably your best choice.
Creating and Managing File Systems with
Partitioner
The first, and perhaps only, time you have to create a new file system on your Linux
computer is when you first install the operating system. You learned the basics of how to
do this in Chapter 3, ???Installing openSUSE.???
If you add a second hard drive, or have set up a series of mount points that you decide to
adjust in one way or another, you can go to the YaST Partitioner tool to handle this task
for you.
NOTE
Until GNU Parted came along, partitioning in Unix and Linux was handled by the standard
fdisk shell utility. It works a little differently from its DOS namesake, but
performs the same essential tasks: creating and modifying the partition table.
The main difference between fdisk and Parted/YaST Partitioner, aside from the GUI, is
that fdisk does not preserve existing data.
