[TriLUG] creating ext3 partitions on the command line

[sgblanch]

I am trying to create some ext3 partitions by hand on a redhat 7.2 box, 
but can not find the command to format the partitions. parted complains 
that it does not have an implementation for ext3, and there is no 
mkfs.ext3, or mke3fs. I am somewhat befuddled at this...

thanks,
