Linux create new partitioning

1. (2 marks) Edit your drives partition table by adding 3 new partitions based on these specs:

Size	Partition Type
4 GB	Linux Swap
10 GB	Linux
15 GB	Linux

Take a snapshot, here!

2. (4 marks) On the first of the two new Linux type partitions that you created in step 9:
   • create an ext2 filesystem
   • assign the label yourFirstNameLastInitial (replace with your actual first name and last initial)
   • use a blocksize of 2,048
   • allow exactly 24,000 nodes or as close to that number as possible

3. (1 mark) Convert the ext2 filesystem that you just created in the previous step to an ext3 filesystem.

4. (1 mark) Manually mount the filesystem that you created in step 10 to a mountpoint named /yourFirstNameLastInitial with the noexec and noatime options.

5. (1 mark) Now, add a line to /etc/fstab (see section 21.5 in your NDG Linux 1 course for help) to automatically mount the filesystem from step 10 during bootup as follows:
   • use the mountpoint /yourFirstNameLastInitial
   • refer to the partition by UUID

6. (2 marks) Using the Linux swap partition that you created in step 9:
   • initialize it as swap space
   • manually activate the swap partition
   • add a line to /etc/fstab, so that the swap partition is automatically activated upon startup.

7. (4 marks) On the second of the two new Linux type partitions that you created in step 9:
   • create an xfs filesystem
   • assign the label yourFirstNameLastInitial (replace with your actual first name and last initial)

8. (1 mark) Now, add a line to /etc/fstab (see section 21.5 in your NDG Linux 1 course for help) to automatically mount the filesystem from step 15 during bootup as follows:
   • use the mountpoint /yourFirstNameLastInitial
   • refer to the partition by label (NOT UUID)

9. Place screenshots of all the following at the end of this document before submitting it into the appropriate Learning Hub dropbox. Then, add your name to the list on the board to be marked.
   • a listing of your partition table
   • the contents of /etc/fstab
   • proof that the swap partition has been manually activated
   • proof that the filesystem features exist on the two Linux partitions.
