Handling disk and filesystem on ubuntu

example.sh

# List all block device with diverse information
sudo lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL

# Managing partition
sudo fdisk /dev/sdx # MBR mode, the old way. Can't handle more than 2T
sudo gdisk /dev/sdx # the new way

# Format the drive with the filesystem type you want
# This is when a UUID is created
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdx

# Grab UUID of all drives
sudo blkid

# Edit fstab to make your system aware of those drives
# fstab is the file used by linux to mount drives at startup
sudo vim /etc/fstab 

# Mount all drives defined in /etc/fstab
sudo mount -a
