Linux 空闲空间的格式化与加载
本人有块SCSI硬盘，安装Linux AS4 时没有分区，安装好了系统后想把这块空闲分区使用上，以下是详细的操作步骤
一、使用linux as4的硬件查看工具查看未使用的硬盘空间。
二、使用fdisk对空闲分区分区。
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 5221.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
