What Do You Understand By Partitioning In Reference To Operating Systems? Give Their Advantages And Disadvantages?
Partitioning involves the user to partition their hard drives and then they can implement / install multiple operating systems on them. The user requires a boot manager to switch between different operating systems. Partitioning allows each operating system to work optimally. Each os has the complete access to the hardware of the system on which it is being executed. Also depending on the file system used the user is free to resize his partition according to his needs. But manual partition is not a simple task and requires patience. The system needs to be restarted in case the user wants to switch operating systems.
