How to partition a Free Space using parted
1
During the installation of my ubuntu server, I had to leave a big space of my hard drive for specific service. Well, I forgot to to partition it up and leave it mounted during installation. Right Now, I realized I won't be able to use it without being partitioned.
(parted) print free
Model: DELL PERC 6/i (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 292GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
32.3kB 1049kB 1016kB Free Space
1 1049kB 500MB 499MB primary ext2 boot
2 500MB 26.3GB 25.8GB primary ext3
26.3GB 26.3GB 1048kB Free Space
3 26.3GB 32.3GB 5999MB extended
5 26.3GB 32.3GB 5999MB logical linux-swap(v1)
32.3GB 292GB 260GB Free Space
What I'mmona need to do, is partition that indicated "Free Space" as well as mount it on a certain /dev/sd* device in order to use it.
Any help with that?

Do you want to create new partition on the "260Gb Free Space" and have it mounted every time, right?

Sorry I first advised you Gparted and the decided to ask it: do you need to partition namely by using parted?

@RuslanGerasimov- Yes that's right, I want the 260GB not necessarily be formatted but mounted to a device like /dev/sd* so I'd be able to use it. FYI, I'm not using GUI linux.

Oh, Gparted is a GUI tool for GNOME based systems. I'm only using linux server without GUI. That's why I'm looking for appropriate solution.
