Summary


By discussing the simple nature of a bit at the beginning of this chapter, we demonstrated how and where a system places a table for slicing up a storage device. We continued our journey by discussing how a BIOS of any modern computer finds a bootloader and the partition in which the bootloader must activate the running OS. We concluded the chapter with LVM and filesystem maintenance, including several scenarios to cover some of the most basic partition troubleshooting tactics.
