Linux Basics Review (2)--linux system partition two or three things

问题来自Linux教材，答案自我整理难免会有不足之处。这是我Linux期末的总结

1. Can there be several types of partitions on a hard drive? How many can each have? (Can each partition install an operating system?) ）

The hard disk partition has three types of partitions: primary partition, extended partition, logical partition, one hard disk can divide up to 4 primary partition, or 3 primary partition plus one extended partition, the extended partition can divide multiple logical partitions (up to 20). Can install the operating system.

2. Can the user create an extended partition during the installation process?

The partitioning tool does not provide an extended (extended) partition type in the file system type, that is, the user cannot manually create an extended partition as needed. Setup also creates 3 primary partitions, automatically dividing the remaining space into an extended partition, and then creating a new partition based on the structure of the logical partition.

3. What are the minimum two partitions required to install a Linux system?

One is the system mount point "/" root partition (root partition), a "swap" swap partition.

4. Please indicate the meaning of the following naming:/DEV/HDA3,/DEV/SDB6

/dev/hda3 indicates that a primary partition or a fast station partition is established on the first IDE hard disk. /DEV/SDB6 indicates that a logical partition is established on a four-block SCSI/SATA/USB hard disk.
