Hi,
I bought an external disk (1 BT) and I am only connecting it to a
Debian box, not window. Is it a good idea to re-fomat it by ext3?
Sure, unless you have an urge to use vfat or ntfs-3g.
Presuming, of course that it's already formatted. In which case
it's an expensive brick until you format it.
Has
anyone done it?
Sure. Linux has had that capability for a decade.
What is the procedure and commands to do it?
You're making things *WAY* too complicated!
Turn it on, plug it in and treat it like you'd treat any other hard
drive. Because that's exactly what it is...
Anything
I should be aware of not demage it?
Not unless "unmount before unplugging" is something you need to be
made aware of...
