This part explains how to create primary, extended and logical partitions from fdisk command in Linux step by step with examples. Manage Linux Disk Partition with fdisk Command This part explains basic concepts of Linux disk management such as BIOS, UEFI, MBR, GPT, SWAP, LVM, RAID, primary partition, extended partition and Linux file system type. You can read other parts of this article here. This tutorial is the last part of our article “Linux Disk Management Explained in Easy Language with Examples”. In this tutorial we will learn how to create and manage software RAID in detail. It provides slow performance but cost nothing. Software RAID is a logical storage device which is built from attached disks in system. Since it has its own dedicate resources, it provides high performance. Hardware RAID does not put any extra load in system. It does not use any resources from system such as power, RAM and CPU. Hardware RAID has its own independent disk subsystem and resources.
System can use hardware RAID device as a single SCSI disk. From system points of view there is no difference between a regular SCSI disk and a Hardware RAID device. While connecting with system all disks appears as a single SCSI disk in system. Hardware RAID is a physical storage device which is built from multiple hard disks. There are two types of RAID Hardware RAID and Software RAID. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.
