mkfs.ext3  /dev/hdcn    Where n is the partition #  such as /dev/hdc1



What is the exact mount command to mount it?


Add to /etc/fstab

<file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hdc1     /home/backup  ext2   defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

go to /home

#mkdir backup



That should do it.......

If not someone will chine in
