Parted an easier way to go.. (Simple tools to partition and specify RAIDS, Flags, so on)

Had an interesting opportunity to partition an enterprise server at work, this is normally done by the Server Management Team.

This time around I had to do it, for some reason...

Simple and sleek commands.. I usually use the GUI to partition, but there was an issue with VNC server with our installation..

Anyways

# parted
(parted) -
()print all
()mkpart extended ext2 50.4gb 322gb
()mkpartfs logical ext2 50.4gb 322gb
()print all

shows the new /dev/sda5 or other sequence number

Now,

/etc/fstab should be updated

/dev/sda5 /mount_point defaults 0 0

Done...
