Disk partitioning in Linux is the process of dividing a single physical hard drive into multiple logical storage units referred to as partitions. Partitions are created to help organize information and can be used to separate system files from user files, or to allocate more space to certain programs and applications. Each partition is formatted with a specific file system, such as ext4, and then assigned a unique mount point, such as /home, /var, and /usr. Once created, the partitions can then be mounted and accessed like any other directory.
