The word volume is used to describe a storage device, like a hard
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
disk. It can also refer to a part of the storage on that device,
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
because you can split the storage up into chunks. The computer makes this
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
storage accessible via your file system in a process referred to as
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
mounting. Mounted volumes may be hard drives, USB drives, DVD-RWs, SD
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
cards, and other media. If a volume is currently mounted, you can read (and
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
possibly write) files on it.

Often, a mounted volume is called a partition, though they are not
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
necessarily the same thing. A “partition” refers to a physical area of
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
storage on a single disk drive. Once a partition has been mounted, it can be
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
referred to as a volume because you can access the files on it. You can think
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
of volumes as the labeled, accessible “storefronts” to the functional “back
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
rooms” of partitions and drives.

The right pane provides a visual breakdown of the volumes and
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
partitions present on the selected device. It also contains a variety of
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
tools used to manage these volumes.

Vær forsigtig: det er muligt helt at slette dataene fra din disk med disse redskaber.

Your computer most likely has at least one primary partition and a
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
single swap partition. The swap partition is used by the operating
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
system for memory management, and is rarely mounted. The primary partition
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
contains your operating system, applications, settings, and personal files.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
These files can also be distributed among multiple partitions for security or
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
convenience.
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
One primary partition must contain information that your computer uses to
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
start up, or boot. For this reason it is sometimes called a boot
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
partition, or boot volume. To determine if a volume is bootable, select the
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
partition and click the menu button in the toolbar underneath the partition
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
list. Then, click <gui>Edit Partition…</gui> and look at its
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
<gui>Flags</gui>. External media such as USB drives and CDs may also contain
|
|
Packit Bot |
4b9ea4 |
a bootable volume.
