  • There must be an entry in /sys/block/XXX
    • # ls -lrt /sys/block/
  • /proc/partitions ==> cat /proc/partitions 
    • major minor  #blocks  name

    •  253        0   13148160 dm-0
    •  253        1    2064384 dm-1
  • To list all the disk in the machine ==> fdisk -l
    • # fdisk -l /dev/?d?
      • To avoid all the dm devices.
    • # fdisk -l 2>/dev/null | grep "Disk \/"
      • Disk /dev/sda: 16.1 GB, 16106127360 bytes

      • Disk /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap: 2113 MB, 2113929216 bytes
  • # lsblk
    • NAME                        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

RHEL 5 vs RHEL 6 ?

If by any chance you are appearing for an interview for a position if Linux Administrator then the most common question which is asked is what is the difference between RHEL5 and RHEL6 ?

Security: RHEL6 has an enhanced version of SELinux(Security Enhanced Linux) now, Basically now the features are more improved and there are various new set of rules which are added to SELinux one of such rule/feature is of SVirt which provides security to virtual machines from hackers. EXT4: It stands for Extended 4, It has various new advantages then EXT2/3 which were used in earlier version(s) of RHEL. EXT4 is comparatively more faster and easy t...
