Example Midterm Test Questions

1. List the 5 steps (exact commands) you would enter in order to
   format an ext3 file system on hard drive partition /dev/sdb2,
   label it BACKUP, set its maximum mount count to 50, check it for 
   errors and mount it on directory /mnt. 

   You should assume the mount point and the hard drive partition
   already exist and that the partition has never been formatted.

   [ Each command is worth one mark. ]
