Disk Management with Parted on Linux

This is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, copying data on hard disks and disk imaging. Now, I will show you some tips to master it.

1- View current partition layout

The /proc file system is created by the kernel when the system boots and holds current information about the system.


2- Create a partition

Use partprobe command to force the kernel re-read the partition table after creating partitions.





3- Making a swap partition



4- Delete a partition



Have fun!
