Week 7 Homework
Partition table homework🔗
This homework won't be hard. So, what do you need to do:
Task 1 (preparation)🔗
- Download Arch Linux iso from official site: (link)
- Setup virtual machine (Boxes, VMware, VirtualBox... - up to you)
- Create virtual machine with disk of 4 Gb (after finishing homework you can erase it)
- Launch Arch Linux iso into virtual mashine
Task 2🔗
All this things you should do on virtual machine, as you may damage your partition table!
You need to create a new GTP table and a number of partitions
You can use cfdisk or parted to do it.
Steps to do:
- Create empty GPT partition table
- Create 4 partitions, each 1 Gb
- Set partition types (EFI system, Linux swap, Linux home, Linux filesystem)
- Write partition table (only on virtual machine!)
As result you should write short text about which commands you used, which menu opened etc.
Save this file as report_partitions.txt
Also, after your work you should take a screenshot of command fdisk -l that will show your work and save it as report_partitions.jpg
