Excuse this probably very stupid question, but before I shoot myself in my feets I'd rather ask...
I've got my first external usb hd and can mount it without problems as /dev/sda1 on my Debian/Sarge machine (kernel 2.4.27-2-386). It's formatted as vfat and I want to keep a small vfat partition but for the main part putting ext3 or something on it. As this is my first experience with this type of hardware I want to double check on the list if I can do that using 'fdisk /dev/sda' and then 'mkfs.ext3' just as on oldstile ide disks?
