I'm confused about some of the details in the openSuSE V13.2 installation process.
Concerning the installation of the openSuSE V13.2 operating system (In both 32bit and 64bit).
I'm a little confused on some of the finer details. The problems are in the "Suggested Partitioning" section of the installation process. I'm installing openSuSE V13.2 on two separate computer systems. The first is a 32bit EDIE/PATA hard drive system. The second is a 64bit (brand new, out of the box SATA hard drive system. The 32bit system will have a total of 04GBs of ram. The 64bit system will have a total of 128GBs of ram. The 32bit system will be using 80, 160, 200, 250, 320, and 500 GB. EDIE/PATA hard drives. The 64bit system will only be using 01 TB. SATA hard drives. My questions are broken down by the partitions in the installation process. ... In the "Suggested Partitioning" section of this process. First partition at /dev/sha1. Question#1 What is this partition's name/designation? Question#2 In relation to the hard drive's "Usable Space", what should I put into the "Customized Size" field? (In MIBs.) Can you give me a simple formula to use on the different sizes of hard drives? (Especially the 01 TB. hard drives.) Second partition at /dev/sha2. Question#3 What is this partition's name/designation? Question#4 Same as question#2. (But in GIBs.) Third partition at /dev/sha5. Question#5 What is this partition's name/designation? Question#6 Same as question#2. (But, in GIBs.) Fourth partition at /dev/sha6. Question#7 What is this partition's name/designation? Question#8 Same as question#2. (But, in GIBs.) Fifth or Swap partition at /dev/sha7. Question#9 Same as question#2. (But, in GIBs.) Well there you have it. As simply as I can put it. Before I install this new operating system, I'd very much like to understand these partitioning details. Thank You, GeorgeThough. |
Hi:
The first partition dev/sda1 would be your EXT 4 /boot partition. (100 MB) The second partition dev/sda2 would be your EXT / root partition. (20 GB) The third partition dev/sda3 would be your /home partition which is also a EXT 4 type. (180 GB) The fourth partition dev/sda4 would be your /swap partition. (1 to 2 GB) You can make your partitions any size that you want within reason. The 2 partitions that most people make larger are the /root and the /home. Anything more that 2 GB for a swap partition is overkill. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthre...-Install-Guide When you partition you would partition according to the size of the drive. I partitioned Slackware to have a 1 GB swap /dev/sda2 partition. Than I allocated the rest of the journaling file system EXT 4 / /dev/sda1. On my Centos machine I partitioned this way: Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id SystemNotice the star or * next to the first partition. That partition has to be made bootable. Take your time and make one partition at a time. If you make the partition incorrectly you can always tell the partition manager (generally g-parted) to delete it (generally by right clicking on it) and create another one. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Basics_o...,_mount_points Read this Install Guide, it will help you.-;) http://opensuse-guide.org/installation.php |
