Step 1: I used the command, sudo ls \/dev\/sd*, to see the current hard disk devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: I used the command, sudo fdisk -l, to list the hard disk partitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: I used the command, sudo parted -l, to list the partition table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: I made a new virtual hard disk named \u201cjkaur005.vdi\u201d with 300 MBs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Loaded the new hard disk to the virtual machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: I used the command, sudo ls \/dev\/sd*, to see the current hard disk devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used the command, sudo fdisk -l, to list the hard disk partitions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used the command, sudo parted -l, to list the partition table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: I used the command, sudo fdisk \/dev\/sdb, to create a new primary partition on the new virtual hard disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 8: I used the command, sudo mkfs.ext4 \/dev\/sdb1, to create an ext4 filesystem on the new partition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 9: I used the command, sudo ls \/dev\/sd*, to see the current hard disk devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used the command, sudo fdisk -l, to list the hard disk partitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used the command, sudo parted -l, to list the partition table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 10-11: I used the command, sudo mkdir \/cyse, to make a new directory. I used the command, sudo mount \/dev\/sdb1 \/cyse, to mount the new partition under the new directory. I used the command, df, to check the mounting point of the new partition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 12: I used the command, sudo touch jkaur005.txt, to make a new file and used vi editor to put my name in the file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 13-14: I used the command, sudo umount \/dev\/sdb1, to unmount the \/cyse directory. The \/cyse directory was empty after unmounting it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
