Disk partitioning#

Partition tables:

Partition utilities:

  • fdisk - My preference, more feature complete and defaults to MiB, GiB, etc which seems like a no-brainer to me...
  • parted
  • gdisk - Nice if you only care about GPT... basically GPT fdisk, all the same syntax. Why limit yourself though?

Logical Volumes#

  • LVM
  • VDO
