Description

---

Learn Linux disk partitioning and storage management through practical, hands-on command-line exercises. This beginner-friendly course is designed for students, IT professionals, and anyone who wants to build confidence working with Linux storage.
You will learn how to create, manage, and delete disk partitions using the fdisk and gdisk utilities. The course also introduces Logical Volume Management (LVM), including the practical steps required to create and remove physical volumes, volume groups, and logical volumes.
The course then covers essential filesystem management tasks. You will learn how to format Linux partitions using mkfs, assign filesystem labels with e2label, and identify filesystem information using blkid. You will also practice mounting and unmounting filesystems and understand how partitions become accessible through Linux mount points.
The course includes a final hands-on practical exercise that brings the skills together. You will work through partitioning, LVM, formatting, labeling, mounting, unmounting, and partition management in a practical workflow.
This course focuses on demonstrations and real Linux commands rather than only theory. By completing the exercises, you will gain practical experience with common Linux storage administration tasks and become more comfortable working with disks and partitions from the command line.
No advanced Linux knowledge is required. A Linux virtual machine or test environment is recommended so you can safely practice the commands yourself.
