linux filesystem

Manipulating your disk

Format, partition, concat partitions,…

  • sudo gnome-disks - can add, delete, split, concat your disk partitiosn on your harddrive

    • or from cmd line. ext4 - most used linux journal filesystem ext4 . sudo mkfs.ext4 <device id>

    • NTFS -windows DONT try to format a partiton to windows type from linux. Do it from windows

      • device id ala /dev/
        vme0n1p4 4 is partition number

  • check if filesystem is non corruptet. sudo fsck.ext4 <deviceid>

Concat two or more partitions to one

THIS IS OR CAN BE FATAL FOR YOUR DATA if you f… it up

Backup is a nice and wise thing to do before

So in general I say : dont do it
