We now have a new disk installed, it is visible to Ubuntu and we have configured a Linux partition on the disk. The next step is to create a Linux file system on the partition so that the operating system can use it to store files and data. The easiest way to create a file system on a partition is to use the mkfs.ext4 utility which takes as arguments the label and the partition device:
<googlehtmlet>ADSDAQBOX_FLOWadsdaqbox_flow</googlehtmlet>
<pre>
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L /photos /dev/sdb1
