Learn about Disk Partition in
Learn about Disk Partition in Linux CentOS 8. Disk Partition means diving that drive into many parts so that each parts can be accessed as if it was a separate disk. Any storage device with storage space must be partitioned. The unpartitioned drive can’t be used until it contains at least one partition. After creating a partition, the partition is formatted with a file system.
In the linux, the common file systems are ext4 and xfs. For the windows, the most common file systems are NTFS or FAT32.
In Linux, there are two partitioning layout standards; MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT (GUID partition table). GUID means Globally Unique identifiers.
MBR is an older method of disk partitioning while GPT is a new way of partitioning disk which is designed to address some of the limitations of the MBR layout. MBR only supports drives up to 2TB in size, Using MBR, we can only have up to 4 primary partitions per drive. For more than 4 partitions, we need to replace the primary partition with an extended partition and use that extended partition to create logical partition.
GPT supports the hard drives with larger amount of size, and we can create up to 128 primary partitions using GPT. And this number could be extended by allocating more space to the partition table.
