Managing Disk Partitions and Mounts on RHEL 8

Before we can use a disk to store data, we need to prepare it. Most of the time, the first step is to create or modify partition(s) on the disk. In this hands-on lab, we will list, create, and delete partitions on MBR and GPT disks. *This course is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.*
