Configuring a Disk Schedule Using Udev Rules

In this hands-on lab, you will use `udev` rules to manage and configure the disk scheduler for a disk attached to the lab system. As part of the workflow, you will identify the disk, check the default scheduler configuration, and collect the unique identifier of each disk. With this information, you will create a `udev` rule to set the disk schedule and confirm it is successfully updated. *This course is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.*
