    2727Unmount the partition with umount /dev/partition, e.g. umount /dev/sdb1 (if not already unmounted)[[BR]]

    29 At this point, you either need to make a Linux format disk (ext3) for hyperspectral data or a Windows format disk (NTFS, not FAT32) for all other data types.

     31note: for hyperspectral data prior to 2011, make a Linux format disk (ext3)

    35 Partition and format the disk (command line)
    36  1. Run fdisk /dev/DEVICE_NAME (not partition)
    37  1. enter 'p' to print partition table and check you have selected the correct disk
    38  1. enter 'd' to delete the current partition (delete them all)
    39  1. enter 'n' to create a new partition
    40  1. enter 'p' to make new partition the primary partition. If it asks you to give a partition number press 1 and enter. Then press enter twice to fill the whole disk.
    41  1. enter 'p' to print new partition table – if all seems fine enter 'w' to write
    42  1. To be on the safe side, run dmesg again to make sure device name hasn't changed. You should now see the partition listed as device_name1, e.g. sdb1
    43  1. Unmount the partition if it remounted.
    44  1. Run `mke2fs -j /dev/partition`
    45 
    46 Remount and fix permissions:
    47  1. Unplug the disk and plug back in. The disk space should be located under /media/disk.
    48  1. It is wise to check that this destination is correct: 'df /media/disk' to check that this is where the device is mounted.
    49  1. Make writable for everyone using chmod a+rwx /media/disk

    51 == Copy over your data onto the disk ==
    52 
    53 Copy the delivery folder to /media/disk.

    55 == Finalising hard disk ==
    56 
    57 Set permissions and owner:
    58 
    59 chmod a+rX,a-w -R /media/disk [[BR]]
    60 chown root.root -R /media/disk
    61 
    62 NOTE: Be sure to record the number of the hard disk (or giving it one if it does not yet have one) before packing it.
