Question
what the storage management,the file system UNIX and LINUX?

Answer
Are you looking for a way to manage your physical disks, volumes, logical volumes, file systems, etc?  This isn't a quick answer...

Almost every UNIX OS out there has their own GUI tool (AIX = smit/smitty, Solaris = admintool (I believe), etc.).  The binary "fdisk" may exist on a bunch of them, but you really cant use the same options on every UNIX/Linux system.

Linux, you should use "fdisk" or "pfdisk" or "cfdisk", etc.  There are a lot of GUI partioning tools out there, but they will differ from various Linux distributions (RedHat vs SuSe vs Caldera vs Fedora etc)

Google "linux partition howto" or "linux logical volume howto" for some good info.
