Hi,
there's an fdisk to establish partitions and yes there is some equivilent of
the dos format command.  I _believe_ it's of the form mkextfs for ext2 but
won't swear to it!

RE: FSCK.EXT3 commandThe command is mke2fs to build an ext2 or ext3 filesystem. Yu can also use mkfs -t ext2 or mkfs -t ext3 if you don't need to specify a lot of complex options to build the fs.

FSCK.EXT3 command

[Rejean Proulx]

I am baffled by the fsck command. I decided to remove raid from my machine
because it has been causing me problems.  I'd rather manage my drives
myself.  Now that I did that I need to get the superblocks reset somehow so
that it will let me run an fsck.ext3.  Id there an equivalent to a dos and
windows format command which reinitializes a disk drive, or at least a
partition?  I wan a surface scan so that my drives can be initialized.
