Question

Linux Server Administration -

Create a Virtual Machine with two additional disks devices (excluding the operating system).

On the first disk partition it to have 4 partitions of approximately 5GB in size each – these will be mounted on /mnt/a, /mnt/b, /mnt/c, /mnt/d. On the second disk create two partitions of 10GB in size which will be mounted in /mnt/e, /mnt/f. Once created impose a file system and make them mount at boot time.

What commands did you use to do all this?

Please provide screenshot. Thank you.
