# raw device bindings

/dev/raw/raw5   /dev/sda10

use e2label /dev/sda11 /u02 to mark the label for /dev/sda11 ,otherwise the server will halt for failing to check the label.

use partprobe to make the kernel know the current partition after fdisk

use mkfs.ext3 -L /u02 /dev/sda10 will label the device when formatting the device.

when error rasied "Partition table entries are not in disk order " during a fdisk operation , enter x into "extra functionality (experts only) mode " and press f  " fix partition order"
