Red hat Linux Creating a File System Task 1 1 Erase all exi

Creating a File System Task 1 1- Erase all existing partitions on /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, and/dev/sdd 2-Create the following layout on /dev/sdb -Create two partitions on disk /dev/sdb Each partition should be 3GB in size -Create an ext4 file system on each partition 3-Create the following partition layout on /dev/sdc -Create a single partition on disk /dev/sdc -The partition should take up the whole disk -Create an ext2 file system on the partition -Upgrade the partition to ext3 4-Create the following layout on /dev/sdd -Create a single partition on disk /dev/sdd -The partition should be 2GB in size -Create a swap file system on the partition Enable the swap -Edit the letc/fstab file so that the swap is available during boot The task is complete when all partitions, file system and swap space can be verified. All the file syste and swap space must survive a system reboot.

Solution

PLEASE BE VERY SURE BEFORE YOU DO THIS TASK.

If I do this task to take screenshots, I will be losing the data on my system.

However I will give you correct set of commands here. You can try and take the screenshots.

(1) The command \"fdisk -l\" will list down all partitions available in your system.
  
   Check if you have the disks /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd available.
  
   Also take a note of the number of partitions available in each disk.

   If you have say 4 partitions in /dev/sdb then we you execute
   \"fdisk -l\" command, you will get the output for /dev/sdb disk as
  
   /dev/sdb1 <some other stuff>
   /dev/sdb2 <some other stuff>
   /dev/sdb3 <some other stuff>
   /dev/sdb4 <some other stuff>
  
   From this you can conclude that /dev/sdb has 4 partitions.
  
   To delete all the partitions, go to respective disk.
  
   i.e. to delete all the partitions in /dev/sdb, type \"fdisk /dev/sdb\" command.
  
   This will take you to fdisk prompt.
  
   Once you are in fdisk prompt, type \"d\" to delete the partition.
   Enter 1 to delete the 1st partition.
  
   Type \'d\' again to delete next partition and so on.
  
   Once all the partitions in a disk are deleted do a reboot.
  
   Repeat the same for /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd.
  
(2)
   Execute fdisk -l command to check if Linux can see the /dev/sdb.
  
   Now again go to /dev/sdb disk using the command \"fdisk /dev/sdb\"
  
   type \'p\' to check if any partitions are there. It should be empty as we have
   already deleted the same in 1st question.
  
   Now type \'n\' to create new partition.
  
   Press enter to accept the default partition number.
   Press enter to accept the default first cylinder.
  
   When it asks for default last cyclinder, type +3g to create 3GB partition.
  
   Now again type \'p\' to check if the partition is created.
  
   Now type \'w\' to write the changes to the disk.
  
   To create filesystem, execute \"mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1\" command
   to create ext4 filesystem on /dev/sdb1. Here 1 is the partition number which
   is newly created.
  
(3)
   Execute fdisk -l command to check if Linux can see the /dev/sdc.
  
   Now again go to /dev/sdb disk using the command \"fdisk /dev/sdc\"
  
   type \'p\' to check if any partitions are there. It should be empty as we have
   already deleted the same in 1st question.
  
   Now type \'n\' to create new partition.
  
   Press enter to accept the default partition number.
   Press enter to accept the default first cylinder.
  
   When it asks for default last cyclinder, since partition should take up entire disk, press enter here to accept the
   last cyclinder value by default.
  
   Now again type \'p\' to check if the partition is created.
  
   Now type \'w\' to write the changes to the disk.
  
   To create filesystem, execute \"mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sdb1\" command
   to create ext4 filesystem on /dev/sdb1. Here 1 is the partition number which
   is newly created.
