===Purpose / Objectives of Lab 5===
The purpose of this lab is to discuss demonstrate how a Linux system administrator can monitor hard disk space availability, and to manage file system size via the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) application. This lab will also demonstrate how to manually mount (i.e. connect) and unmount (disconnect) partitions to file system directories, and demonstrate how to have partitions including adjusting the size of their automatically mounted to directories upon Linux systems if space is requiredsystem startup.
:* Monitoring Disk Space with utilities such as '''ssm list''', '''df -h''', and '''du -ah'''.
:* Use the '''crontab''' utility to automatically schedule running of shell script to "flag" low disk space.
:* Use '''LVM''' to '''resize partitions via command-line utilities'''.
:* Create, partition and format '''virtual hard disks''' to increase the size of file systems.
