[Xen-users] create a partition on a file disk 
| Hi, 
 I want to install a OS on file disk as HVM domain.
 
 I create a file disk useing dd and create a partition on top of this
using fdisk. I want to create the file system on this partition. How i
can do this, in google i found that using "losetup" we can do this.
 
 #dd if=/dev/zero of=/opt/rhel5 count=1 bs=1 seek=4000
 
 #then i set 'cylenders' 4000 on this disk using fdisk exta function features.
 
 #then create a partition on this
 fdisk -l /opt/rhel5
 
 Disk /opt/rhel5: 0 MB, 0 bytes
 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders
 Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
 
 Device Boot     
Start        
End      Blocks   Id  System
 /opt/rhel5p1              
1        4000   
32129968+  83  Linux
 
 Can anybody tell me how i can craete the file system on this partition. Sorry this is not exactly related with  xen.
 
 Thanks,
 ---Trilok
