Partition Party! (Linux+ Objective 1.3.1)

Ғылым және технология

Ok, maybe not a party... But making partitions and getting information on block devices is an important part of Linux administration. It's also part of the prep required for the CompTIA Linux+ certification exam!
This video covers tools like fdisk, parted, lsblk, df, du, and a bunch of other commandline tools for dealing with block devices. Whether you're prepping for the exam, or just want to be a better sysadmin, this video should help.

    I like how you include past commands like dd to remind us of them, tha'ts a hallmark of a good teacher. Kudos my friend.

    Shawn, thank you for the videos! I have been following both your training and demonstration, then playing with the "examples" on my cloud server in order to anchor in the missing knowledge. Books were only taking me so far.

    du is a great tool once you learn how to use it. I like the --summarize flag but I tend to use --max-depth=1, and that'll give me the size of ALL the folders in a directory. I even have an alias set up for my "du -h --max-depth=1 | sort" command, which will list all of the directories in order of biggest to smallest. Quick and easy way to see where disk usage is going! Great videos, I love what I'm learning from you!

    Thanks for the new video. Could you tell me what vid in the class you referred to during the intro to fdisk and parted? Also, I am really excited for the upcoming video on the ramdisks. PS thanks for the help, my memory isn't as good as it used to be, I bet you can identify.

    The video I was referring to is kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6d8mKmOmrnHaLw.html -- but looking back, I might not have covered partitions as well as I thought. I've explained partitions so many times over the years (for my previous job), I probably just assumed I explained it more in that linked video. :/

    I don't know if the Linux plus requires the --summarize option but -s will the do the same with du (or i should say the systems i just checked it on it did). i prefer to use single letter options mainly to prevent misspelling (i misspelled summarized twice while testing just now)

    I'm definitely going to use the "-e" command now.

    So, the only reason I use the full --summarize, is that on a few systems (maybe Unix, may OSX, maybe just old Linux...) the -s didn't work. And sometimes even --summarize wouldn't work, and I'd have to fall back to "--max-depth 1", which does pretty much the same thing. At this point, --summarize is just muscle memory.
