You need to format the first partition on the slave drive on the secondary IDE channel using the ext3 file system. Which of the following commands should you use?
  1. mkext3fs /dev/hdd1
  2. mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda4
  3. mkreiserfs -t ext3 /dev/hdd1
  4. mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdd1
Explanation
Answer - D - You should use the mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 command to format the first partition on the slave drive on the secondary IDE channel using the ext3 file system.

Key Takeaway: The mkfs command is used to build a Linux file system, usually a hard disk partition. The syntax for this command is mkfs [ -V ] [ -t fstype ] [ fs-options ] filesys [ blocks ], where filesys is either the device name or the mount point for the file system. Blocks is the number of blocks to be used for the file system. -v produces a verbose output and -t fstype specifies the type of file system to be built. fs-options specifies the file system-specific options to be passed to the file system builder.
