Overview of the lab environment

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 virtual machine we will use for this book will have additional drives added for this section. Currently, we will use three disks:

• /dev/sda: This disk is used by the root filesystem
• /dev/sdb: This disk is used to house the yum repository

• /dev/sdd
• /dev/sde
• /dev/sdf
• /dev/sdg

Using the lsblk command on the demonstration system, you will be able to view the starting ...
