Hi,
I run cygwin on Win10 64-bit. I would like to format an external harddrive with
ext3. (And then do a backup of my windows file with my rsync script to the
external harddrive.)
Problem I have is that I do not find any partitioning or file system tool in
cygwin. For instance - I can not find fdisk. Ant not parted.
Can anybody help?
I have also tried to compile fdisk from source - is there a tutorial as to how
to compile from source?
Kind regards from a newbie, Peder

so you need to install the package util-linux and e2fsprogs.
