RUN LEVELS

Background

-Linux can boot into various configurations (much like with what you get with Windows when hitting F8 while booting)

-Linux has 6 boot levels but outside of specialized situations, only levels 3 & 5 are useful

-Runlevel 3 boots to a command prompt –this is the default Runlevel for most servers

-Runlevel 5 boots to a GUI interface similar to Windows – this is the default Runlevel for most workstations

I see this question in forums all the time.... How do I mount a file system? How do I create a new partition and a file system? How do I set it to mount automatically? how do I set the permissions on the mount? Well I'm going to do my best here and answer all the questions above.
