I am new to Ubuntu and have a quesion:
I have Ubuntu 16.04 running on VMware. My initial setup had one disk.
I added another 2 disk (one 2GB and one 1GB). Now I want to add them to the Ubuntu, how can I do that? First I know I should format them but when I want run fdisk command I get this error:
Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xd5a1dff9.
Command (m for help):
And here is my disk info:
*-disk:0

My question is how to solve this issue using command only?

1.format /dev/sdb
fdisk /dev/sdb
enter: n
enter: p ( primary )
enter: default -> press enter
enter: default-> press enter
enter:w ( write ) to save the changes
if you type fdisk -l : you should see a /dev/sdb1
Now make a ext4 filesystem on it with: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
Create the domain you wish to mount it like /db with mkdir /db
Mount it: mount /dev/sbd1 /db
To mount after reboot you need to add this in the fstab similar to /
You need to get the UID of the partition with: blkid
These UID you need to add in the new line you have added in /etc/fstab.
For the second disk you do it in the same way

Older versions of fdisk, do not support the newer gpt partitioning. Often better to use gpt if system is UEFI or less than 5 years old. You do not partition drive like sdb, but partition drive first then format partition(s). If you want gpt, you can use gdisk or parted. Or fdisk from 18.04. rodsbooks.com/gdisk
