Summary
In this chapter, we've learned about how a disk is divided logically for optimal use of storage and how to later create a filesystem on that disk division so that it can be used to actually store data.
Once the actual filesystem was created, we learned how to make it accessible in our system and how to ensure that it will be available after the next system restart via modification of the /etc/fstab
configuration file.
Finally, we also learned about using a remote filesystem with NFS based on the data that was provided for us and how to add it to our fstab
file to make it persistent.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to make storage even more useful via Logical Volume Management (LVM), which empowers the definition of different logical units that can be resized, combined to provide data redundancy, and so on.
