Linux disk

if a disk is new, and could only be seen by ‘lsvlk’, we need to create a partition and format it.

1. create a partition

    sudo parted /dev/sda
   

   then in the parted shell:

    mklabel gpt
    mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
    quit
   

2. format the partition

    sudo mkfs.exfat /dev/sda1
   

   or

    sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
