One . Preface
When the server inserts a hard disk , If we want to use the hard disk , You need to use the disk partition management tool first , Then format the partition , Mount the partition to the directory
On , Before you can officially use the hard disk to store files . There are many disk partition management tools , This paper mainly introduces fdisk,gdisk,parted, And compare .
Two . About the structure of the partition
1. There are two kinds of partition structure of disk , One is MBR Partition , One is GPT Partition , The characteristics of the two structures are described one by one .
2.MBR(Master Boot Record)
- It's the traditional zoning mechanism , Apply to most uses BIOS Guided PC equipment （ Apple uses EFI The way ）, quite a lot Server The server supports BIOS Also support EFI How to guide ;
- MBR Support 32bit and 64bit System ;
- MBR The division is divided into the main section （ A hard disk can only be created at most 4 Primary partitions ）、 Extended partitions （ An extended partition will occupy the location of a primary partition ）、 A logical partition （ Logical partitions are created based on extended partitions , First there's an extended partition , Then create logical partition on the basis of extended partition ; In other words, we're going to use logical partitions , You must first create an extended partition , The space of the extended partition cannot be used directly , We have to build logical partitions on top of extended partitions , To be used ）. stay Linux Using extended partitions and logical partitions on, you can create at most 15 Zones ;
- MBR Only support no more than 2TB The hard disk of .
3.GPT(GUID Partition Table)
- It's a newer partitioning mechanism , It's solved MBR Many shortcomings of ;
- Support over 2TB Of disks ;
- Backward compatibility MBR;
- Use GPT The premise of partitioning is that the underlying hardware must support UEFI（Intel The proposed replacement BIOS A new generation of boot system for ） Can be used , That is, the underlying hardware must use UEFI;
- GPT Partitions only support 64 Bit operating system ;
- GPT Partition list supports maximum 128PB(1PB=1024TB), Can define 128 Zones , There is no primary partition , Extend the concept of partition and logical partition , All partitions can be formatted .
4. Judge the partition is GPT still MBR The method is as follows ：
[root@node5 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 37.6 GB, 37580963840 bytes, 73400320 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x000b606a
#Disk label type: dos This line of information indicates that the partition is MBR Partition
# If it shows Disk label type: gpt Indicates that the partition is GPT Partition
# The following commands can also be viewed
[root@node5 ~]# gdisk -l /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.10
Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: not present
# You can also use the following methods
[root@node5 ~]# parted -l
Model: VMware, VMware Virtual S (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 37.6GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

2 1075MB 21.5GB 20.4GB primary lvm
# Show Partition Table: msdos, It is MBR Partition
# Show Partition Table: gpt, It is GPT Partition
3、 ... and .fdisk Detailed command
Get into fdisk After the command window , Input m, You can see all of fdisk function .

Four . Use fdisk Partition the disk
4.1 Partition planning
The partition plan is as follows ： Create a primary partition , An extended partition , The extended partition contains two logical partitions .
4.2 fdisk Partition the disk
Use fdisk Yes /dev/sdb Partition the hard disk .
# Use lsblk Check to see ,sdb The size of this disk is 1G

4.6 Set auto mount partition when power on
Partition use mount After manual mount , You also need to write mount information to /etc/fstab In file , Otherwise, after the restart , Need to mount again . When the system is turned on, it will read
take /etc/fstab What's in this file , Mount the disk according to the configuration in the file . In this way, we only need to write the disk mount information to this file, and we don't need to open every time
After the machine started, it was mounted manually .
[root@node5 ~]# echo "/dev/sdb1 /sdb1 xfs defaults 0 0 " >> /etc/fstab
[root@node5 ~]# echo "/dev/sdb5 /sdb5 ext4 defaults 0 0 " >> /etc/fstab
# notes ,/etc/fstab File,
# An example is ： /dev/sda3 /home ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
/etc/fstab The documents mainly include 6 paragraph , In turn, is ：
<file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
<file system> Partition or storage device to mount
<dir> The location of the mounted Directory
<type> The file system type of the mount partition , such as ：ext3、ext4、xfs、swap
<options> What parameters are used for mounting . Examples are as follows ：
auto - At startup or when you type mount -a Automatically mount on command .
noauto - Only mounted at your command .
exec - Binaries that allow execution of this partition .
noexec - Binaries on this file system... Are not allowed to execute .
ro - Mount the file system in read-only mode .
rw - Mount the file system in read-write mode .
user - Allow any user to mount this file system , If there is no display definition , Implicitly enable noexec, nosuid, nodev Parameters .
users - Allow all users Users in the group mount file systems .
nouser - Can only be root mount .
owner - Allow device owners to mount .
sync - I/O A simultaneous .
async - I/O asynchronous .
dev - Parsing block special devices on file systems .
nodev - Do not parse block special devices on the file system .
suid - allow suid Operation and setting sgid position . This parameter is usually used for some special tasks , Enable general users to temporarily upgrade permissions when running programs .
nosuid - prohibit suid Operation and setting sgid position .
noatime - Do not update file system inode Access records , Can improve performance .
nodiratime - Do not update directories on the file system inode Access records , Can improve performance ( See atime Parameters ).
relatime - Real time updates inode access Record . Only when the access time in the record is earlier than the current access will it be updated .（ And noatime be similar , But will not interrupt such as mutt Or other programs to detect whether the file has been modified since the last access .）, Can improve performance .
flush - vfat The option to , Refresh data more frequently , The copy dialog or progress bar does not disappear until all data has been written .
defaults - Use the file system's default mount parameters , for example ext4 The default parameter for is :rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, async.
<dump> dump Tools use it to decide when to back up . dump Will check its contents , And use numbers to decide whether to back up the file system . The allowed number is 0 and 1 .0 Said to ignore , 1 Back up . Most of the users are not installed dump Of , For them <dump> It should be set to 0.
<pass> fsck Read <pass> To determine the order in which file systems need to be checked . The allowed number is 0, 1, and 2. The root directory should have the highest priority 1, All other devices to be checked are set to 2. 0 Indicates that the device will not be fsck Checked .
