→INVESTIGATION 4: Using Python Scripting to Generate System Information Reports
<li> You will return to the previous dialog box.<br><span style="background-color:yellow">For the '''/''' partition, change the file-system type from '''xfs''' to '''ext4''' and make certain that the Device Type is set to LVM</span>.</li>
<li>Repeat the same steps above for the '''/home''' partition (calculate the equivalent size for '''40GiB''' ('''ext4''' file-system type and LVM as device type).</li>
<li>Add a mount point '''/var/lib/libvirt/images''' (type yourself, check spelling!) for size '''100GiB''' (file-system type '''ext 4 ''' and device type '''LVM''').</li><li>Recheck each of the created partitions, and make certain that the file-system type is set to '''ext4''' and the Device Type should be '''LVM''', unless the instructions above tell you otherwise.</li>
<li>Finally, add a swap partition (Mount Point: swap) for '''16 GiB'''.</li>
<li>Check that your partition settings are correct (you can ask your instructor or lab monitor to confirm), and then click '''Done''' (possibly '''<u>twice</u>''') in order to proceed<br><br></li>
</li>
<li>Save your script and run it. Does it work?</li>
<li>You'll notice that the python script is currently sending its output to your terminal. Since we haven't covered how to write to a file yet, this is ok for now. Just use output redirection on the command line when you run the script to send the output to '''~/bin/pythonreport.txt'''.</li>
<li>Add the extra commands for your python script to also output (with appropriate headings):
<ul>
