Im currently trying to make my sdb gpt and have partitions primary but I don't know how to proceed properly.



what I did was:



  1. sudo umount /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb5

  2. sudo parted /dev/sdb mklabel gpt

  3. sudo parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary ext3 0% 30%

  4. sudo parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary ext4 30% 90%

and it shows me this:





How to make type primary and file system like shown in the commands?

  • The process is after creating a partition you need to format those partitions as desired. Please follow the provided answer below. But note you need to quit parted first then format them

    This is got not MBR, here you can have up to 128 primary partitions. You already have two primary partitions as per your parted command

  • Ohhh because I see it's written name not type, so I thought it wasn't primary thanks for clearing that up!

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
