Just for the record, non LVM.
The disk to be used

fdisk -l /dev/vdb Disk /dev/vdb: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 41610 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xbc6eae88 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System |
Make a primary partition
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
fdisk /dev/vdb c,enter...Unset DOS Compatibility flag n,enter...Creat a new partition p,enter...Primary partition 1,enter...Partition number set to 1 enter...First cylinder with default setting enter...Last cylinder with default setting w,enter...Write to disk |
Format the partition using Ext4 File System
|
1 |
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1 |
Mount the partition, make sure /home is empty otherwise back up beforehand and contents will be inaccessible after mounting
|
1 |
mount /dev/vdb1 /home |
Edit /etc/fstab, append the line
|
1 |
/dev/vdb1 /home ext4 defaults 1 2 |
Explaination
1 meaning dump should back up the mount points (0=no)
2 meaning fsck should check the mount points (0=no, 1=root, 2=other)
Done!
