3. On the xvdf1 partition create an XFS file system.
[root@localhost dev]# mkfs -t xfs xvdf1
4. On the xvdf2 partition create an EXT4 file system.
[root@localhost dev]# mkfs -t ext4 xvdf2
5. On the xvdf1 partition label the filesystem as "filesystem1".
[root@localhost dev]# xfs_admin -L "filesystem1" /dev/xvdf1
[root@localhost dev]# xfs_admin -l /dev/xvdf1
label = "filesystem1"
6. On the xvdf2 partition label the filesystem as "filesystem2".
[root@localhost dev]# tune2fs -L "filesystem2" /dev/xvdf2
7. Create a persistent mount in the /etc/fstab file with defaults as the mount option for the xvdf1 partition and use the mount point /mnt/mount1.
[root@localhost dev]# vi /etc/fstab
LABEL=filesystem1 /mnt/mount1 xfs defaults 1 1
8. Create a persistent mount in the /etc/fstab file with defaults as the mount option for the xvdf2 partition and use the mount /mnt/mount2. Set the fsck check to 2 and the dump to 1.
LABEL=filesystem2 /mnt/mount2 xfs defaults 1 2
