How to create a Red Hat file systesm?

[chrs0302]

I just installed Red Hat using automatic partioning.The disk layout is

[root@******root]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 16G 1.5G 14G 10% /
/dev/sda1 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm

Now I want to create two file systems by name /var and /opt each at 2 or 3 G using the available space from / which has 14G. Pl try to mail me some useful links/documents and other information like simple and easy to go commands if you can. Thanks in advance.

Just to be pendantic.... there is no such thing as a "Red Hat file system".

Anyway. There is no need to create a "var" and "opt". Those are part and parcel of "/". So how ever big the root partition is, that's how much space they will have because they are in the same partition as root.

Now if you mean you want them to be on their own partition separate from root, well that's a different matter and you can do that.

If partitioning is what you mean then search this forum for that term as there are many threads here related to that.
