    All right, thats done. I used the following command:
    $ mkfs.ext3 -v /dev/hdb10

    mkfs wrote the inodes, made the journal, etc. and I
    could see the type as ext3 when I checked /dev/hdb
    with cfdisk.

    My next question is, how to allow users to write to
    the partition. Current permissions are drwxr_xr_x
    root:root. Should I just use chmod og+w for
    /mount/part10 (assuming I'm mouting it under /mount in
    dir part10)? Would it be better to make this partition
    similar to /tmp with the "t" bit set? Please suggest.

    This is off topic: Does anyone know how to send
    replies to threads in correct order using yahoo mail?

    Thanks.
