Storage on Linux
Partitioning tools, LVM, software RAID, filesystem creation and mounting, and real backup scripting — the hands-on Linux counterpart to Storage: The Foundations.
What you'll actually learn
This is the hands-on Linux counterpart to the storage fundamentals — partitioning tools, LVM, software RAID, creating and mounting filesystems, and backup scripting that actually runs on a schedule instead of living as a manual step someone forgets. You'll work with real disks and real failure scenarios, not just diagrams of how RAID levels are supposed to work.
What you'll be able to do
You'll be able to take a server with raw, unpartitioned disks and turn it into a properly structured, redundant, backed-up storage setup — and just as important, recover it when a drive actually fails, since that's the scenario all the setup work exists to survive. That's the practical test behind any "Linux storage administration" line on a resume.
