Install
Alpine has multiple storage media formatting packages available. Different packages/programs are used to format different types of filesystems.
- btrfs-progs - For Btrfs
- dosfstools - For FAT12/FAT16/FAT32
- e2fsprogs - For ext3/ext4
- f2fs-tools - For F2FS
- jfsutils - For JFS
- ntfs-3g - For NTFS (Note: ntfs-3g is a FUSE driver)
- xfsprogs - For XFS
Format
Here are some examples on how to use the formatting tools:
Note: /dev/sda1 is used as a example
btrfs-progs
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1
dosfstools
# mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
e2fsprogs
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
f2fs-tools
# mkfs.f2fs /dev/sda1
Partitions
If you need to change or make a partition table on a Hard Drive you want to format, you can use:
fdisk
# fdisk /dev/sda
cfdisk
# cfdisk /dev/sda
