linux對不同的磁盤設備的設備文件命名如下：
IDE： /dev/hd[a-z]
對IDE分區的命名為/dev/hda1 /dev/hda2 …..
SCSI, SATA, SAS, USB： /dev/sd[a-z]
對分區的命令為/dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 …….
主分區最多可有4個。若分區大於4個，可使用3個主分區加一個擴展分區的方式，再通過在擴展分區上劃分多個邏輯分區。
常見的文件格式有ext2、ext3、ext4、vfat(兼容windows的fat32)、xfs、btrfs、jfs等。
查看linux的磁盤分區可使用fdis（分區管理命令）
fdisk /dev/sda (非IDE硬盤)
m：獲取幫助
p：顯示分區信息
q：不保存退出
n：新建分區
d：刪除分區
q：保存退出
l：顯示分區類型的ID
t：改變分區類型的ID
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sda
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.23.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

說明：
1、Disk /dev/sda: 16.1 GB 硬盤的大小是16GB，16106127360 個字節，31457280個扇區。
2、下半部信息說明
Device 是分區名稱
Boot 是否是啟動分區
Start 起始的扇區
End 結束的扇區 \\ /dev/sda2結束的扇區是20971519，而硬盤總共有31457280，說明還有硬盤空間沒有被用於創建分區。
Blocks以1KB為單位，顯示分區的空間；
ld 為分區類型的ID號
System 為分區類型
創建分區：（下圖中指定起始扇區與/dev/sda2的結束扇區能對接上）
創建邏輯分區
Command (m for help): n
Partition type:
p primary (3 primary, 0 extended, 1 free)

Select (default e): e \\指定新建擴展分區
Selected partition 4
First sector (23068672-31457279, default 23068672):
Using default value 23068672
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G} (23068672-31457279, default 31457279): +1G \\指定擴展分區的大小
