with/no fdisk when adding disk

[Kevin O'Gorman]

First use one of cfdisk, cgdisk, fdisk, gdisk, gparted, parted, sfdisk, or
sgdisk to establish the partitions you want.  Then you can make filesystems
on those partitions (if your selected tool doesn't do that already).

For ext2, ext3 and ext4 partitions, some aspects can be edited with tune2fs.
