OBJECTIVE: Create partitions and ext$4$ filesystems.

DESCRIPTION: In this hands$-$on project, you work with partitions. You will first create a partition using the fdisk utility. Next, you create an ext$4$ filesystem on the partition and mount it to the directory tree. Finally, you use the $/$etc$/$fstab file to automatically mount the partition at boot time.

$1$

Switch to a command$-$line terminal $($tty$5)$ by pressing Ctrl$+$Alt$+$F$5$ and log in to the terminal using the user name of root and the password of LINUXrocks!.

$2$

At the command prompt, type lsblk and press Enter. Note the storage device file that holds the partitions that you created during Fedora installation. Also note the partitions under this storage device.

$3$

At the command prompt, type fdisk device and press Enter, where device is the storage device file from Step $2($e$.$g$.,/$dev$/$sda$).$ At the fdisk prompt, type m and press Enter to view the various fdisk commands.

$4$

At the fdisk prompt, type p and press Enter to view the partition table on your storage device. Do the partitions match the output from Step $2?$ Note whether your storage device uses an MBR or GPT$.$

$5$

If your storage device uses an MBR$,$ perform the following. Otherwise, proceed to Step $6.$
