Move FAT32 partition to linux
Just to confirm:
I've got this on a laptop:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 20.0 GB, 20003880960 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 758 6088603+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 2402 2432 249007+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 2280 2401 979965 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 759 2279 12217432+ 83 Linux
I have no need for the FAT32 partiton, so is the procedure as simple as:
1) use cfdisk to change the type to 83 Linux and write the partition
table
2) format:
mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1
3) update /etc/fstab to mount it some place handy.
Missing anything obvious? Any need to re-run lilo?
