Disk configuration on Linux

In this section, we're going to look at the out-of-the-box configuration of the disks in our VM and discuss the differences between vda, sda, hda, and nvme. We're also going to investigate the difference between disks, virtual disks, partitions, and filesystems.

Getting ready

Here, we're going to be using the Vagrant box we created at the beginning of this chapter.

Ensure your centos1 VM is up and connect to it:

$ vagrant ssh centos1

Check that your VM has the appropriate packages for this section installed.

$ sudo yum install lvm2 -y
