The recipes in this chapter focus on leveraging your CentOS system's storage to maintain availability, increase reliability, and to keep your data safe against inevitable disk failures. You'll learn how to determine how much space your files take up and how much storage is still available. Then, you'll see how to put limits in place to ensure that users use the system's storage resources equitably. We'll also create a RAM disk, a memory-based low latency storage for frequently accessed data. Then you'll learn how to create and manage RAID arrays to provide reliable storage, and how to work with LVM volumes to allocate logical drives from storage pools to better utilize your system's total storage capacity.
