# Linux Partition Management **You can change the partition table of a disk using `fdisk`. Note that `fdisk` only changes the table, it does not format partitions. To format partitions use `mkfs`.** Note that `mkfs` defaults to `ext2`, the currently recommended partition for linux is `ext4`. A good command for listing partitions is `lsblk -f -o +SIZE`. ^mvehts For mounting `hfsplus` see [[Mounting HFSPlus on Linux]]. For auto mounting on boot see [[Auto-Mounting Drives on Linux]].
