When we use mv command, what changes take place in HDD?
Under following conditions-
filesystems
Extend a LUKS encrypted partition to fill disk
I recently upgraded my disk from a 128GB SSD to 512GB SSD. The / partition is encrypted with LUKS. I’m looking for help extending the partition to use all the free space on the new disk. I’ve already dd’d the old drive onto the new one:
What is this folder /run/user/1000?
What is this folder: /run/user/1000 on my Fedora system and what does it do?
How do I resize partitions and filesystems on them?
How can I resize partitions from the command line? I’ve heard of GParted, but I don’t want to use a GUI program.
How to change filesystem UUID (2 same UUID)?
I have a fedora guest OS in VMware. I want to expand /boot partition, so I add another virtual disk to this VM, and try to clone the disk.
Recovering ext4 superblocks
Recently, my external hard drive enclosure failed (the hard drive itself powers up in another enclosure). However, as a result, it appears its EXT4 file system is corrupt.
How are file types known if not from file suffix?
I would like to know how file types are known if filenames don’t have suffixes.
Find where inodes are being used
So I received a warning from our monitoring system on one of our boxes that the number of free inodes on a filesystem was getting low.
understanding “mount” as a concept in the OS
Data on a computer, as you may know, is stored in binary as a series of 1s and 0s. The way these are stored on a device and their structure is called the “filesystem”. In Linux devices are referenced in /dev. Data is not actually stored on a device so you cannot access this data by going into /dev, this is because it is stored inside the filesystem on the device so you need to access these filesystems somehow. Accessing such filesystems is called “mounting” them, and in Linux (like any UNIX system) you can mount filesystems into any directory, that is, make the files stored in that filesystem accessible when you go into a certain directory. These directories are called the “mount points” of a filesystem.
