			=== Command mkfs ===

			Once a partition has been created, a filesystem for it can be created using the parted command mkfs:

			<pre>
			(parted) mkfs
			Partition number? 1
			File system? [ext2]? ext2
			</pre>

			This will then create an ext2 filesystem on the partition created with <code>mkpart</code>.
