how to create a Filesystem

Hi everybody,

I work with UNIX-AIX OS, I have to install db2 connect , somebody could explain to me how to create a Filesystem?, user, group, and password? ( I read a little and I know there many types of Filesystems) I have no idea how to do it,

Linux version 2.6.18-92.el5 (brewbuilder@ls20-bc2-13.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-41)) #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008

Thanks!

To create a file system you must decide on the volume type. If you are familiar with LVM you can continue to use it. You need to create either a partition or use the entire disk for the file system

mkfs is the command to create one and there are some wrappers such as mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.jfs to help you out.

useradd creates a user

groupadd creates a group. There are good tutorials online for all the above. If you have more specific questions, someone or I could help you further.

That doesn't look like AIX, and it's posted in Red Hat subforum...

Anyway, according to the Administrator Guide:

You can read the full chapter about partitions and filesystems here --> RHEL Docs - Chapter 4 - Partitions

Post back if you have any specific questions.
