partitioning with Cfdisk
I set up my partitions as such
part1 / (primary) part5 /swap (logical) part6 /usr (logical) part7 /home (logical) when I get to the mount file menu I have the list part1 part2 part5 part6 part7 What should I do about part2? I mounted the root with ext3, swap as swap, and usr and home as reisfs? If I mount 2 I have to mount it as something but will that affect /usr and /home? Cordially, S. Barret Dolph PS. This is for installing Sourcemage |
The partition 2 is an extended partition. In a nut shell it is a container for logical partitions and does not get mounted. You do not need to do anything about partition 2.
Way back, when hard drives for personal computers were first introduced you could only have 4 partitions. Well when hard drive started increasing capacity 4 partitions were not enough. So the extended partition was borne. The first 4 partitions are called primary and partitions >=5 are called logical. |
