About this Hands-on Lab

Before we can use a disk to store data, we need to prepare it. Most of the time, the first step is to create or modify partition(s) on the disk. In this hands-on lab, we will list, create, and delete partitions on MBR and GPT disks.

Additional Resources

As a mid-level sysadmin, your task is to learn all about managing disk partitions, file systems, and how they are connected to a system. You need to be able to add primary, extended, and logical partitions to a disk; put a file system on various partitions; and then cause those to be mounted on the system at bootup.

You'll also have to figure out how to add both swap partitions and swap files for the extension of your system's swap space and make certain they are activated and ready at system bootup.

Red Hat Exam Requirements Covered:

  • List, create, and delete partitions on MBR and GPT disks
  • Configure systems to mount file systems at boot by universally unique ID (UUID) or label
  • Add new partitions and logical volumes, and swap to a system non-destructively
