1Discuss the steps required including exact commands to part

1:Discuss the steps required (including exact commands) to partition a disk using the fdisk utility. (linux)

2: Provide the steps required to create and then mount a filesystem (linux)

Solution

1. Before partition, it is critical to make sure about the contents of the disk.

So, before partitioning, use \'sudo fdisk -l\' to list the disks available

Then when you have selected the disk you want to do partition on, do:

\'sudo fdisk /dev/sda\' where sda is the output without the number using the previous command.

In different cases, letter might be different.

Then, you will enter into command mode.

To create a new partition enter \'n\'.

Then enter \'p\' for primary partition.

2.

Here filesystem type can be different formats like ext3, ext4, ntfs, fat, etc.
