5.9.6.2. Removing Storage
The process of removing storage from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system is relatively straightforward. Here are the steps that are specific to Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
- Remove the disk drive's partitions from
/etc/fstab - Unmount the disk drive's active partitions
- Erase the contents of the disk drive
The following sections cover these topics in more detail.
5.9.6.2.1. Remove the Disk Drive's Partitions From /etc/fstab
Using the text editor of your choice, remove the line(s) corresponding to the disk drive's partition(s) from the
/etc/fstab file. You can identify the proper lines by one of the following methods:
- Matching the partition's mount point against the directories in the second column of
/etc/fstab - Matching the device's file name against the file names in the first column of
/etc/fstab
Note
Be sure to look for any lines in
/etc/fstab that identify swap partitions on the disk drive to be removed; they can be easily overlooked.
