+# Creating Partition Tables and Filesystems on Linux
+
+This guide covers creating partition tables and filesystems using command-line tools.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Identify the Disk
+
+List disks and partitions:
+
+```bash
+lsblk
+```
+
+Assume the target disk is `/dev/sdc`.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Create a Partition Table with `fdisk`
+
+Start fdisk:
+
+```bash
+sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
+```
+
+### Inside `fdisk`:
+
+- Create a new GPT partition table (recommended for disks >2TB):
+
+```
+g
+```
+- Create a new partition:
+```
+n
+```
+- Accept defaults for partition number, first sector, and last sector (full disk).
+
+- Write changes and exit:
+```
+w
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Format the Partition
+
+Assuming partition `/dev/sdc1`:
+
+- Create an ext4 filesystem:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1
+```
+
+- For other filesystems:
+
+  - NTFS: `sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdc1`
+  - FAT32: `sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1`
+
+---
+
+## 4. Verify the Filesystem
+
+```bash
+sudo blkid /dev/sdc1
+```
+
+Check UUID and filesystem type.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Mount the Partition
+
+Create mount point and mount:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /mnt/mydrive
+sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mydrive
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+df -h | grep /mnt/mydrive
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Automount (Optional)
+
+Follow the **Adding an Automount Drive** guide to configure `/etc/fstab`.
+
+
+:::note
+- Creating new partition tables and filesystems will erase data on the disk.
+- Backup important data before proceeding.
+- Use GPT for disks larger than 2TB; MBR is limited to ~2TB.
+- Use `parted` or `gparted` for GUI or more advanced partitioning.
