通过此教程对未启用的硬盘进行分区并挂载，可以确保通过ThinkVM面板重装系统是不丢失挂载分区的数据！
先通过fdisk -l查看目前磁盘分区状况
[root@MyVPS ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/xvda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/xvda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/xvda2 14 1044 8281507+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/xvdb: 23.6 GB, 23622320128 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2871 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
我们可以看到/dev/xvdb容量有23.6G，而且没有分区，接下来我们对它进行分区和挂载
# fdisk /dev/xvdb [root@MyVPS ~]# fdisk /dev/xvdb The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2871. 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) 输入n新建分区 Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p /dev/xvdb中第1个分区 Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-2871, default 1): Using default value 1 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-2871, default 2871): Using default value 2871 输入W保存退出 Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks.
通过上述步骤我们已将/dev/xvdb分区完成，下面我们对分区格式化并进行挂载
将新分区xvdb1(此名称因系统而异)格式化为ext3格式
# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/xvdb1 [root@MyVPS ~]# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/xvdb1 mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 2883584 inodes, 5765319 blocks 288265 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=4294967296 176 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16384 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (32768 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 24 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
将新分区xvdb1挂载，我们示例挂载到/home1目录。新建目录/home1，然后挂载：
# mkdir /home1 /*建立home1目录*/ # mount /dev/xvdb1 /home1 /*挂载到home1目录*/
完成后我们通过df -hal可以看到，新分区已经挂载到目录/home1上了
[root@MyVPS ~]# df -hal Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 5.7G 1.4G 4.1G 25% / proc 0 0 0 - /proc sysfs 0 0 0 - /sys devpts 0 0 0 - /dev/pts /dev/xvda1 99M 28M 67M 30% /boot tmpfs 256M 0 256M 0% /dev/shm none 0 0 0 - /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc sunrpc 0 0 0 - /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs /dev/xvdb1 22G 173M 21G 1% /home1
然后编辑/etc/fstab使分区在开机时自动挂载到home1
# echo "/dev/xvdb1 /home1 ext3 defaults 1 2" >> /etc/fstab
通过上述步骤已经完成硬盘未分区部分分区和挂载，并实现开机时自动挂载。在ThinkVM后台重装系统时，只要选择只格系统盘就可实现重装而不丢失新分区数据。
重装系统后，不用重新分区，直接按上面挂载分区步骤进行挂载即可读取该分区数据。
