1:DF to view the capacity information for mounted disks
-I
view the usage of inodes
-H displays in the appropriate units
-k-m are displayed in K-m units respectively .
2:du Viewing a file or directory occupies a space du [-ABCKMSH] [filename directory name]
the du + catalog will only list the size of the directory and its subdirectories
du-a + Directory lists directory subdirectories and file sizes
Common Du-sh + Table of contents indicates the sum is listed in the appropriate units
2: Disk partitioning
fdisk-l List all current partition conditions
disk/dev/sdb:8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, Sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16065 * 8225280 bytes
Sector Size (logical/physical): bytes/512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): bytes/512 bytes
Disk identifier:0x00000000
you can see that/dev/sdb is a new piece of disk that has not been partitioned yet. Input Fdisk/dev/sdb
fdisk does not add L can enter another mode to begin partitioning.
Enter p to print the current partition condition:
Command (M for help): P

as you can see, the partition has not yet been partitioned and the input n is established:
disk/dev/sdb:8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, Sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16065 * 8225280 bytes

cylinder, +cylinders or +size{k,m,g} (1-1044, default 1044): +1000m
Enter the number of partitions, the location of the partition, the end position is the size
Enter P to view:

creation of the first partition is complete.
Linux supports the creation of up to 4 primary partitions, and if additional partitions need to be created, use the command to delete the 4th partition and select the extended partition when entering n to create a partition. As shown below
disk/dev/sdb:8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
255 heads, Sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
Units = Cylinders of 16065 * 8225280 bytes

/dev/sdb3 257 384 1028160 -up Linux
/DEV/SDB4 385 1044 5301450 5 Extended
/DEV/SDB4 is an extended partition, it is best to allocate the remaining space to the extended partition, the extended partition cannot be formatted, and the primary partition created later is a logical partition that is allocated from the extended partition.
when you delete a partition by using the D command, if you delete the extended partition, the following sub-partition, the logical partition, is deleted.
after the partition is complete, enter W to save the exit.
3: Formatting partitions
MKE2FS-
t Specifies the file system type
mke2fs-t EXT4/DEV/SDB5 Specifies that the file system has a default block size of 4KB for EXT4 format. A Linux write file is a block of write, such as writing 1 5k files, there will be 2 blocks.
-l Specifies that the label-p specifies a block size of 1024 integer times as:
mke2fs-t ext4-l test-b 8192-c/dev/sdb5
4: Mount Disk
after disk partitioning and formatting, you need to set up a mount point, or directory, to write data to the disk
MOUNT/DEV/SDB5 newdir/mount the partition
df-h Viewing the mounted directory information
Filesystem Size used Avail use% mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_flex-lv_root
18G 3.5G 13G 22%/
tmpfs 932M 0 932M 0%/dev/shm
/dev/sda1 477M 37M 415M 9%/boot
/dev/sdb5 973M 1.3M 921M 1%/home/flex/newdir
you can see that the SDB5 partition is mounted successfully
5: Add a line to the/etc/fstab file
/dev/sdb5/home/flex/newdir ext4 defaults 0 0
This file lists the partitions that need to be mounted when the system starts
UMOUNT/DEV/SDB5 unload the SDB5 mounted partition
Mount-a will execute the mount file specified in this file
