You could also try something like this: fdisk /dev/sdb << EOF n p 1 t 1 83 p w q EOF mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1 This should create a new partition (#1) on /dev/sdb that takes all the space on the disk, sets the file system type to Linux (83), prints the new partition table to the screen, writes the partition information and quits. Then it makes a journaled ext2 filesystem (ext3) on the partition. Basically just take the commands you'd normally use in fdisk and sandwich them between the fdisk command line and the EOF. Then make your file system after the partition is ready.

I am having trouble finding a way to envoke fdisk or something like it to create a single partition that spans an entire volume (/dev/sdb) w/out interaction. Do any of you have a quick method for this?
