HARD DISK PARTION USING FDISK

Aim: To partition a hard disk using fdisk

1. For creating Partition in a hard disk we use Fdisk command

#sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
2.To create partition we use n command in fdisk
#n
-click enter to select Primary or extended Partition
- p command for primary Partition
#p
-Give appropriate size for the partition [eg: +1G,+2G,….]
3. For creating logical Partition use n command.
#n
-click enter
#l -. For logical Partition -Provide size for the partition
4.To create a File System
#sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
5.To create a directory
#sudo mkdir /mnt/name
6.Mount the partition against the mount point.
#sudo mount /dev/sdbi /mnt/document
#lsblk
-For seeing the mount
7.For mounting Partition automatically on booking. time we use
fstab
#sudo nano /etc/fstab
- Inside fstab
/dev/sdb /mnt/document ext4 default 0 0
8.For creating File system, directory mount and mounting on
rebooting time
#lsblk
-For seeing the mount

Result
Hard disk partition using fdisk isexecuted and output
is verified.

HARD DISK PARTITION USING GDISK

Aim: To partition a hard disk using gdisk

1. For creating partition for hard disk we use gdisk

command.
#sudo gdisk /dev/sdc
2. To create partition we use n command.
#n
-Give appropriate size for the partition [eg.+500M,1G] -Provide
the type of file system. -we use ‘8300’ for Linux file system.
3. To create file system.
#sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1
4. For creating mounting point.
#sudo mkdir /mnt/document
5. Mount the partition against the appropriate mounting point.
#sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/document
6. For mounting partition automatically on booting time use
fstab. #sudo nano /etc/ fstab
-Inside fstab /dev/sdc1 /mnt/document ext4 defaults 0 0
7. #lsblk for seeing the mounting.

Result:
hard disk partition using gdisk is executed and output is
verified.

HARDDISK PARTITION USING PARTED

Aim: To partition a hard disk using parted

1.For creating a partition in hard disk we use parted command.

#sudo parted /dev/sdd
2.For creating a new disk label [partition table]
#mklabel
3.Creating a partition. #mkpart
-Enter partition name.
-Enter file system type.
-Enter start:[eg.2M]
-Enter end:[eg.500M]
4.Repeat the step 3 for creating other two partitions.

5.For creating file system. #sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd1

6.For creating mounting point use the command.
#sudo mkdir /mnt/document
7. Mount the partition against the appropriate mounting point.
#sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/document
8. For mounting partition automatically on booting time use
fstab. #sudo nano /etc/ fstab
-Inside fstab /dev/sdd1 /mnt/document ext4 defaults 0 0
9.#lsblk for seeing the mounting.

Result:
Hard disk partition using parted is executed
and output is verified.

CREATING SWAP PARTITION

Aim: To create swap partition using gdisk.

1.To create partition for hard disk we use gdisk

command. #sudo gdisk /dev/sdc
2.To create partition we use n command.
#n
- Give appropriate size for the partition.
- Provide the type of file system ‘8200’ for swap.
3. Use mkswap command for format the partition.
#sudo mkswap /dev/sdc5
4. Use swapon command for activate the swap partition.
#sudo swapon /dev/sdc4
5. For mounting partition automatically on booting time use
fstab.
#sudo nano /etc/fstab
-Inside fstab : /dev/sdc4 swap swap defaults 0 0
6. #lsblk for seeing the mounting.

Result:
creation of swap partition is executed and output is verified.
