What is the best way to accomplish step two of this - reformatting the
partition? I've only done this so far during the installation phase,
and that was for partitions I knew I could destroy with impunity. I'm
guessing I unmount the drive, <do something magic here> and remount it.
It's the magic part I don't know.
'man mke2fs' has all the details. I usually do:
mke2fs -b 4096 -j -m 1 -O dir_index $DEVICE
What are the parameters used by the installer to format a partition?
I believe it's simply "mke2fs -j $DEVICE" but I may be wrong.
