The following short disk partitioning presentation is
a simulation of a typical disk partitioning process. The
command used is $COMMAND$; however, you should consult
your System Administration manuals for the exact command
and the exact syntax of usage on your UNIX system.
XENSTART
The $COMMAND$ command divides a disk into a number of divisions.
A division is a separate area on the disk which is defined by
unique major and minor device numbers. Divisions are used for
file systems, swap areas, and isolating bad spots on a disk.
$COMMAND$ may be used only by the super-user.
The syntax for $COMMAND$ is shown above.
$COMMAND$ provides various
capabilities for disk division, to
see them please enter the command
$COMMAND$ -b 1 -c 1 to begin the disk
partitioning process for the device
with the major device number of 1 for
both block and character interface.
$PROMPT$
That is correct!
You've got it on the 2nd try.
Good, you understand the concept.
Please use $COMMAND$ with the
options -b 1 -c 1
Please type
$COMMAND$ -b 1 -c 1
$PROMPT$
FORGET1
$COMMAND$ -b 1 -c 1
Please observe the result.
Now you would chose the next action, probably first you
would want to see the table layout, so you would enter D.
Notice that the starting blocks for the file systems rhd12
and rhd14 are the same; however, their sizes are different.
Therefore only one of those two partitions can exist at one time.
At this point, you would either choose the next action or would
exit the disk partitioning process.
Please remember that disk partitioning utilities are different
different on different UNIX systems. Here you have seen only a
simulation of a typical disk partitioning procedure.
