Migrating an Operating System From One File System to Another Using rsyncīefore we look in detail at the rsync options to use, there are some guidelines we should keep in mind. On the other hand, if we need to manipulate partitions from the command line, we can consult our “ Partitioning Disks in Linux” guide. The easiest way to manage partitions with Linux is GParted, a graphical partition editor usually included on many live CDs/DVDs. A simple situation is where we have an ext4 formatted primary partition, with the boot flag, on which we mount the root directory, and another primary partition formatted as swap. The extended partition can contain multiple logical partitions. A primary partition contains one file system.
We can see the list of all UUIDs with blkid.Įach disk can have at most four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and an extended partition. The standard partition table is GPT (GUID Partition Table).Įach partition has a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), helpful in identifying them in /etc/fstab when other factors used to locate them might change.
The disk stores the information about the partitions’ locations and sizes in an area known as the partition table. Disk partitioning is the creation of one or more parts on a disk so that we can manage each of them separately.
