What is disk partitioning in Linux?

Disk partitioning in Linux involves dividing the hard drive into separate areas to store data and the operating system. Each partition can be formatted with different file systems such as EXT4, NTFS, etc. Disk partitioning helps users better manage storage space, improve file system performance, and enhance security. Common disk partitions include root partition (/), home partition (/home), swap partition (used for swap space), etc.
