以下是一个实际的例子，请各位参考：

[root@test]# fdisk /dev/sdc ( 对磁盘 /dev/sdc 进行分区等设置 )
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 36472.
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)

完成以上工作后，就可以使用文件系统了，但是如果想要在系统启动之后，自动 mount 自己的分区，需要修改 /etc/fstab ，在最后追加一行：
/dev/sdc1 /base ext3 defaults 1 2
