The command mkfs.ext3 ${-dev-sdb1}
is used to create a new ext3 file system on the partition specified by the device /dev/sdb1
.
Here is a breakdown of the different components of the command:
-
mkfs.ext3
: This is the command to create an ext3 file system.mkfs
stands for "make file system". -
${-dev-sdb1}
: This is the device parameter that specifies the partition on which the file system should be created./dev/sdb1
is the specific device in this case. The${...}
syntax is used to refer to the value of a variable, but in this case, it seems to be a typo or an error as there is a-
beforedev-sdb1
which is unexpected. It should be directly written as/dev/sdb1
.
To summarize, the command should be corrected to mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
and it will create an ext3 file system on the partition /dev/sdb1
.
