Parted is a newer tool for creating partitions. It can create both MBR and GPT partition tables. Older versions could format drives as well but some features have been removed. Learn how to change drives, list partitions, and create new partitions using Parted.
- [Instructor] Parted is a lot like…f disk or g disk because it creates partitions.…Older versions can also resize, copy and move volumes,…as well as format and rescue them.…Some of these features were removed after version 2.4,…including check, cp, mk part fs, move and resize.…Parted can be used in interactive and non-interactive modes.…Let's start by installing Parted, if it isn't already.…Type in sudo yum install -y parted.…Type in your password if prompted.…
If it's installed, go ahead and run it.…Type in sudo parted and hit enter.…We'll start out by typing in help.…The help command shows all sub-commands.…To get help on a specific sub-command,…such as the print command,…we can type in help print and hit enter.…We can see that there's a print all option.…Let's type in print all and hit enter.…This shows all drives and partitions…in a way that is very similar to f disk -l…that we saw in a previous video.…
To get a short, concise list of drives,…type in print devices and hit enter.…I like this output, as I can quickly assess…
