Answer the Investigation 4 question in your lab log book.
===Investigation 5 - How do you create and access a Linux filesystem on a hard disk partition?===
# After rebooting Fedora, open up a Terminal Window and enter the command <code>fdisk -l /dev/sda</code> to display the hard disk partition table. Verify that you have partitioned your hard disk correctly.
# Create a Linux 3rd extended filesystem (ext3) on the 300MB primary partition /dev/sda1
# Create the empty directory <code>/mnt/harddisk</code> to serve as a mount point for the partition.
# Use the command <code>mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/harddisk</code> to attach the file system you just created to the Fedora Live Linux file system tree.
# Copy the files <code>/etc/passwd</code> and <code>/var/log/messages</code> to the mounted partition. Can you do this with a single command?
# Unmount the partition.
