Similarly, you can use -l to show all data or a device name to interact. I would prefer this, though there’s nothing wrong with fdisk other than the size limit.

Tools and File systemsįirst, a quick mention of the tools and file systems available. I hope this article can be used as a source of modern, tested documentation for some common use cases. I know I almost always go to the search results drawing board when I have to manage a disk, so it’s pretty infrequent, and have the same problems of sifting through documentation that will work and that which will. So far I’ve come across parted, fdisk, lvm and having varying degrees of success. What’s the current/preferreed tool to use? Linux peeps – trying to learn some disk management techniques: adding new volume, extending, etc. Unfortunately, as Jonathan Frappier points out, a lot of advice is either wrong, dated, or makes some poor assumptions along the way: Managing disks and partitions in Linux has changed quite a bit over time.
