Explain the concept of disk partitioning and its significance in system and network administration.
Disk partitioning involves dividing a physical disk into multiple logical storage units, each with its own file system. This allows for better organization, separation of data, different functions for each partition, and easier maintenance and backup.
What are the reasons for using different partitions in system and network administration?
Different partitions are used when they have different functions, are owned/maintained differently, change at different rates, and have different backup policies.
What is the purpose of swap space in disk partitioning?
Swap space is used as virtual memory to temporarily store data that cannot fit into physical memory, allowing the system to run smoothly even when physical memory is full.

File systems provide the structure for organizing and accessing data on a disk. Different operating systems have their own file systems such as FAT, FAT32, NTFS for Windows and ext2, ext4 for Linux.
What are the key components involved in building a file system?
Building a file system involves creating the boot sector, data area, and free list, which are essential for organizing and managing data on the disk.
