You need to use GNU parted utility - a partition manipulation program. It is perfect tool and works from a shell script. Here is a sample shell script. Make changes as per your setup and test script in a dummy environment.
Code:
#!/bin/sh PART=$1 if [ $# -eq 0 ] then echo "$0 partition-name echo "$0 /dev/sda1" exit 1 fi echo "* Creating partition." parted -s -- $PART mkpart primary ext3 0 -1 echo "* Formatting the partition." mke2fs -j -m 0 -O dir_index $PART HTH
