The Linux Operating System

Which of the following device names denotes a hard-disk partition?

  • A /dev/ttyS0
  • B /dev/sata0
  • C /dev/part0
  • D /dev/sda2
  • E /dev/sda/p2
Explanation

Linux represents partitions on a disk such as /dev/sda by appending the partition number to the disk device name. Thus /dev/sda2 identifies partition 2 on that disk.
