This lab was interesting because we had to create and mount virtual partitions. Using commands such as fdisk, parted, mkfs, df, and mount we played around with formatting and mounting a disk. I had some challenge with this lab in getting the drive we created, sdb, to format properly at first. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing incorrectly, but I recall having an issue with the /dev/sdb directory once it was mounted.

Some insight I gained, is that while it was not a required step, I unmounted the disk and re-mounted it just to see if the files we created were still, and they were.
