Finished part 3 of LPIC for Hacker Public Radio

Finally. Last night finished recording the third part in the Linux Professional Institute Certification series for Hacker Public radio. This episode gives a general background to how a Hard Disk works. The main points were:

• How Linux names hard disks
• Why should the boot partition be under the 1024 Limit.
• Using hdparm -I /dev/{disk} to display information on your hard disk
