Lets use Commands for Linux Partitioning

Nowadays with so much improvements contribute to Linux makes this OS easier for the users as compared 10 yrs ago.
1 significant improvement to Linux is the partition of the disk. Users in these days can simply use the GUI interface or software such as G-Part to partition instead of using commands.
However for me, being a fan of Linux OS, it will be somehow a feeling of dissatisfaction without trying to partition using Linux commands. Today i will blog how i partition using the hard disk in Linux without using GUI.

To save time and to print some screens on how it works, i will use DLX OS using the Bochs Virtual Environment. Below are the steps of how i install DLX into Bochs Env using the Windows system. If you happened to read this post and you like to try partitioning using Linux, simply skip the Bochs part:)

如今有这么多的改善作出贡献的Linux，更十多年前比起来，真的是比较容易多了。
一个显着改善Linux，就是磁盘分区。
在这个世纪里，用户可以简单地使用GUI界面或如G-Part软件进行分区，而不是使用Unix/Linux的命令。
然而，对于我来说，Linux操作系统的风扇喜爱者，不尝试使用Unix/Linux的命令分区磁盘,将是某种的不满情绪.
今天我将博客我是如何分区硬盘,不使用GUI界面在Linux。

为了节省时间，并打印它是如何工作的一些画面，我将用DLX的操作系统使用Bochs的虚拟环境。
下面是我的步骤,如何使用Windows系统安装 DLX在 Bochs的环境中。
如果你碰巧看到这篇文章，你想尝试使用Linux分区，请跳过Bochs这一部分

First i create a disk image in Bosch as shown below:
博世创建一个磁盘映像:

 

 

Now i will copy the DLX image into the Bochs directory.

复制DLX形象到Bochs的目录中

磁盘分区 

The boch.bxrc file.

boch.bxrc文件。

 

Now go into the dxlinux and click on the run.bat file to start the program. I will be looking at the screen as shown below:

点击进入dxlinux和澳run.bat文件.

Log in as root:

以root身份登录:

Start partioning the drive.
开始磁盘分区

Type fdisk –l to see the status of the disk:

Type fdisk /dev/hdb to start portioning

The steps below are used to partition in sequence.40M means 40MB

下面的步骤是用来磁盘分区

1. Select ‘p’ to partition.
2. Enter 1 to partion hdb1
3. Enter 40M for memory
4. Enter ‘n’ to partition
5. Enter ‘p’
6. Enter 2 to partition hdb2
7. Enter 40M for memory
8. Repeat the steps of 1 to 7, however at step 2, enter 3 and 4 to partition each HD respectively as well as hdb3 for 10M and hdb4 for 10M
9. In total based on the steps just listed, i'm creating 4 partitions. Normally we create partitions for root partition, home partition and swap partition. I prefer to create another 1 more partition to store important documents or files.  
10. 在对刚刚上市的步骤的基础总额，我创建4个分区。

After setting the necessary partition, we need to write/register the partitions.
Enter or type 'w' to write the partition into the system. It should return: 'Partition table has been altered'
在设置了必要的分区，我们需要编写/注册分区。

 

Now check the partition of my disk using fdisk -l. It should list 4 partitions in the disk. 

检查我的磁盘分区使用fdisk- 1 

Lets create the file systems for each individual partitions by typing the following commands:

创建文件系统:

1)      mke2fs /dev/hdb1

2)      mke2fs /dev/hdb2

3)      mke2fs /dev/hdb3

4)      mke2fs /dev/hdb4

Below is the confirmation of creating the file systems:

 

Now i will be creating directories and mount each directory to a partition. Its like mounting a thumbdrive into Linux. To mount, we need to create a directory so that it can connect to the thumbdrive or partition and we can access the data in the partition by accessing the directory.

Create the 4 directories first (any name i want)
创建目录和每个目录挂载到分区。:

1. mkdir /web
2. mkdir /usr/local
3. mkdir /usr/local/spare
4. mkdir /home

 

Mounting the partitions to the respective directories.

1. Mount –a /dev/hdb1 /home
2. Mount –a /dev/hdb2 /usr/local
3. Mount –a /dev/hdb3 /usr/local/spare
4. Mount –a /dev/hdb4 /usr/home

 

Type df-k to see the mounted directories:

 

This should end how to partition and mounting of file systems.

这应该结束如何分区和文件系统的安装。
