Linux Command Line tutorial for forensics - 14 - partitioning and formatting with parted and mkfs


This course was designed to provide information on how to use the command line environment in a Unix/Linux system to accomplish tasks such as imaging, data acquisition, and archiving. This course covers the basics of Unix/Linux commands that allow users to view and edit text files, obtain hardware and system information, partitioning and formatting, process related commands, manipulating disks and partitions, imaging, archiving, logical acquisition, live system response, and basic networking.

This would be beneficial for folks who are interested in digital forensics, incidence response, system administration, ethical hacking, or just plain linux. This course covers material for beginners as well as for advanced users. This course would also be helpful if you are considering taking the CompTIA Linux+ certification test.

Great video thanks a lot. Saved me some trouble of the trial and error type. I would like to see a video on a raid 5 setup in software or maybe in a virtual environment like virtual box.

your content is clear and to the point.

[linaelmasry]

how we made name for first partition is PART.1 and when we made file system for it we wrote /sd1 ?
can you explain this point please ?

[lolnjeoglondajmejejplejlis]

so first in parted you set the first partition to ntfs, then its pointless because you have to format it with mkfs to ntfs later on????

Do I understood it right?

fdisk and parted are two different programmes to make the same?
