Linux Administration Cookbook

Getting ready

For this section, we're going to use the second disk in our system (it will probably be sdc on yours).

Connect to your centos1 VM and check that another disk is available to work with.

If you've come straight from the last section, your lsblk might look like the following:

$ lsblkNAME                    MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTsda                       8:0    0   40G  0 disk ├─sda1                    8:1    0    1M  0 part ├─sda2                    8:2    0    1G  0 part /boot└─sda3                    8:3    0   39G  0 part   ├─VolGroup00-LogVol00 253:0    0 37.5G  0 lvm  /  └─VolGroup00-LogVol01 253:1    0  1.5G  0 lvm  [SWAP]sdb                       8:16   0    2G  0 disk ├─sdb1                    8:17   0    1G  0 part /mnt/home2└─sdb2                    8:18   0 1023M  0 part sdc                       8:32   0    2G  0 disk 

We're going to use sdc here.
