1. What purpose do drive partitions serve? 2. What is the relationship between a drive's block capacity and the partitions maintained on the drive? 3. On Linux, how are a drive partitions referenced as devices i.e. / dev/sxxx 4. How are the logical blocks of a partition addressed relative to the physical blocks on the drive?

Is There a Simple Way to Create a Boot Disk That Works With Several OSs?

In what ways does Linux partitioning contribute to the OS?

I need help with a Linux assignment. See below info: Rewrite the command so it makes sense to you. See the fdisk example: Name- fdisk Disk partition tool used to divide a hard disk into logical disks (partitions). Syntax- fdisk [-u] [-b sectorsize] [-C cyls] [-H heads] [-S sects] device -b sectorsize Specify the sector size of the disk (512/1024/2048) -C cyls Specify the number of cylinders in a disk. -H heads Specify the number of heads of the disk -S sects Specify the number of sectors per track of the disk -u Partition table sizes listed need to be given in sectors instead of cylinders

Once a hard drive is formatted with a filesystem, all of the partitions on that drive must use the same filesystem. To what extent is this statement accurate or false?
