Summary
In this chapter, we learned how a disk can be divided logically for optimal use of storage and how to later create a filesystem in that disk division so that it can be used to actually store data.
Once the actual filesystem had been created, we learned how to make it accessible in our system and how to ensure that it would be available after the next system restart via modification of the /etc/fstab configuration file.
Finally, we also learned how to use 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 more.
