mke2fs: Create an ext4 filesystem in partition 1 of device b (`sdb1`).
$ mkfs.ext4 ${-dev-sdb1}
try on your machine
The command "mkfs.ext4 ${-dev-sdb1}" is used to create a new ext4 file system on the device with the name "/dev/sdb1". Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "mkfs.ext4": This is the command to create a new ext4 file system.
- "${-dev-sdb1}": This is a variable that represents the name of the device where the file system will be created. In this case, the device name is "/dev/sdb1". The ${} syntax is typically used to reference variables in shell scripting.
So, when you run this command, it will create a new ext4 file system on the "/dev/sdb1" device. Make sure that "/dev/sdb1" is the correct device name before executing the command.
