Summary

This chapter explored the steps of creating a partition, a fundamental process in disk management. We provided a detailed walk-through of utilizing tools such as fdisk, lsblk, df, and du to create, modify, and analyze partitions on storage devices. These tools play a crucial role in partition management, allowing system administrators to allocate disk space efficiently, monitor disk usage, and make informed decisions for optimal storage utilization. Additionally, this chapter delved into the topic of displaying package space using commands such as dpkg and rpm. These commands enable system administrators to obtain information about installed packages, including their sizes and disk space consumption. By leveraging dpkg and rpm, administrators can keep track of package installations, identify space-intensive packages, and manage package dependencies to ensure efficient disk utilization.

Furthermore, this chapter covered the usage of mkfs, mke2fs, and fdformat, among other...
