#Formatting partitions under Linux.html

            1. Make a partition table
                fdisk                : interactive utility for modifying a filesystem
                cfdisk               : pseudo graphical version of fdisk; recommended
            2. Create a filesystem
                mkfs. 
                    btf
                    btrfs
                    cranfs
                    ext2
                    ext3
                    ext4
                    fat
                    minix
                    msdos
                    ntfs
                    vfat
                    xfs
            >NOTE: you can format a device directly
                    by performing only step 2 and passing a device path;
                    it is a sensible practice for data carriers
