Questions

If you managed to skim through some parts of this chapter, you might want to recap a few essential details about Linux filesystem and disk management:

1. Think of another tool to use for working with disks and install it.

   Hint: Try installing parted and use it from the command line. You can also use GParted from the GUI.

2. Experiment with using Disks (in GNOME) and KDE Partition Manager (in KDE) and use the command-line interface side by side.

   Hint: Keep both applications open and use the command-line utilities side by side. Try to format and mount a disk from the command line while keeping the GUI apps open.

3. Format new partitions using different filesystems.

   Hint: Use btrfs instead of ext4.

4. Explore your filesystem and disks.

   Hint: Use tools such as lsblk, df, and fdisk.
