Divided into 2 parts, in the first part I introduced the concept that everything is a file and I introduced special devices/dev/ null, / dev / zero, / dev / random and / dev / full. In this part 2, I will present interesting didactic features about this, for example, how to transform a file into a partition! Reading this post requires prior knowledge of Part 1!
