Performance Assessment: Managing Linux Storage Using Gparted Outcome: • In this Performance Assessment, you perform tasks that are similar to what you have been taught in the Guided Practices. You may use the book, and any notes you have, along with the Linux man pages. You may look at your prior output. Individual Work: You may not give help to or receive help from other students. You may ask your instructor for assistance, but it is likely to cost points. Resources Needed: • VCASTLE Pod designed for this class • The Ubuntu virtual machine installed in your VCASTLE Pod. Level of Difficulty: • Moderate Deliverables: • Screenshots for the items listed in the Performance Assessment Tasks below. • The date and your username or studentID should be visible in all screenshots that you submit. Important Please note the following: • If you attempt to resize the partition without allowing sufficient storage for existing files, you will lose data. • After the partition is resized, the unallocated pace must be partitioned and formatted, but that is not part of this Performance Assessment. You may choose to restore your partition to its original size or add the freed space as a newly created partition. 1
