Disk /dev/sdj doesn't contain a valid partition table
Now You are going to create a new partition to the allocated disk /dev/sdj as shown below with the commands :
=============================================================================================================
[root@servername ~]# fdisk /dev/sdj
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklab
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 13054.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
