Hi, I just bought a Seagate 1TB USB drive thinking that I could create a few partitions in it, format in ext3 fs, then configure bacula to setup a backup server in my CentOS box and backup my windows and mac clients. I have plugged the drive and mounted in /mnt/usbdrive and is seen as /dev/sdb1 by the OS. The output of df command is: [root at Production ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 74859680 16053996 55002960 23% / /dev/sda1 101086 27066 68801 29% /boot none 480176 0 480176 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb1 976760032 97808 976662224 1% /mnt/usbdrive I am thinking of having three partitions instead of just one whole big 1 TB thing, and then format all three partitions in ext3. I tried doing fdisk, but cylinders are always confusing for me. Is there any GUI tool that could help me achieve this as I am newbie to Linux and not very confident with commands. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
