    STEFAN APRILIO (00000017141)
    This document discusses managing partitions and file systems in Linux. It covers the differences between MBR and GPT partitioning schemes, and how to create partitions traditionally using fdisk or gdisk. It then introduces logical volume management (LVM) which provides more flexibility. The key benefits of LVM are discussed. The document demonstrates how to set up LVM by creating physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes. It also covers creating file systems like ext4 and swap partitions, and mounting file systems automatically using fstab. Exercises are provided to help understand managing swap space. An assignment is given on extending LVM.

    MBR vs GPT

    4
    Undertanding MBR and GPT
    • We need at least one partition to use a harddrive
    • MBR (master boot record) partitioning scheme has been used
    since 1982
    • Allocated during booting
    • The MBR contains all that is needed to start a computer, including a boot loader and
    a partition table.
    • was defined as the first 512 bytes on a computer hard drive (includes boot loader
    and a partition table.
    • the partition table size is 64 bytes, with up to 4 partitions could be created.
    • Max partition size was limited to 2 TiB (hardly a problem in the early 1980s).
    Partition limit in MBR
    • Try creating 5 new partitions in MBR disk. Notice something?
    • You can only have 4 primary partitions
    • Logical partition to the rescue!
    Undertanding MBR and GPT
    • Current computer hard drives have become too big to be addressed by MBR partitions.
    • GPT (GUID Partitioning Table) is a must for computers that using UEFI (Unified
    Extensible Firmware Interface) but is still compatible for BIOS based computers
    • The maximum partition size is 8 zebibyte (ZiB), which is 1024 * 1024 * 1024 *1024 gibibytes.
    • In GPT, up to a maximum number of 128 partitions can be created.
    • The 2 TiB limit no longer exists.
    • Because space that is available to store partitions is much bigger than 64 bytes which was used in
    MBR, there is no longer a need to distinguish between primary, extended, and logical partitions.
    • GPT uses a 128-bit global unique ID (GUID) to identify partitions.
    • A backup copy of the GUID partition table is created by default at the end of the disk, which
    eliminates the single point of failure that exists on MBR partition tables.
    Partition limit in GPT
    • GPT provides maximum of 128 primary partitions

    • Normally, the flow goes like this after we created the partitions

    Create file
    Partition Mount
    system

    • But what happens if later we need to add more size to the


    partition?
    • Or new hard disk?
    • Create more partitions?

    LVM Logical Volume

    Logical volume (lv)

    Volume group (vg)

    Physical volume (pv)


    LVM Benefits
    • Flexible storage management: no more physical storage
    restrictions
    • Snapshots feature
    • Replace failing hardware easily.
    Preparing for partitions
    Creating Physical Volume
    Basically, we
    can use the
    partitions we
    created earlier!

    • Do exercise 15.2 from the reference book #2.
    • Discuss with your peers and instructors.

    • Volume group commands


    • vgcreate, vgdisplay, vgextend, etc.

    • Logical volume commands


    • lvcreate, lvdisplay, lvextend, etc

    Creating File System
    Creating Swap Partition
    Mounting File Systems
    Some information for mounting file system:
    • What to mount  Name of devices to be mounted
    • Where to mount  Directory on which the device will be
    mounted
    • What file system to mount  Optional, may not be necessary
    • Mount options
    Auto mount with fstab
    Auto mount with fstab
    Auto mount with fstab
    Exercise
    • Go to ‘RH199 8.0 Student Guide’ book, page 291
    • Self-study the ‘Managing swap space’ part.
    • If you have understood the previous steps, this should be easy!
    • Previous steps work with hard drives as permanent storage
    • Swap  works with memory, i.e., using hard drives as ‘virtual memory’
    • You can do the exercise with the OVA, or with your own self-
    installed VM
