[SLE] yast install/partion schema
Hi folks, I was installing yast on a new drive in an older pentuim 150 , and used the whole drive option. For some reson it made a /dev/hda5 and /hda6 as well as a small /boot partion. why does it jump to /hda5 and /dev/hda6 for. I would think it would be /dev/hda1 ..hda2 and /hda three. At least thats how I set it up when manualy partioning and installing.

Maybe it decided to create the /, etc. partitions inside an extended partition, in which case the numbering would start at 5 for those partitions (most logical partitions start their numbering at 5).

weird , it was originaly set up as /dev/hda1 a small /boot partion , a dev/hda2 as / (root) and hda3 as swap. No need for extended or logical drives. so much for upgrading drives. Now I have some room to realy use the machine. it had a little 1/2 gig drive At 12:58 AM 3/15/2000 +0000, Chris Reeves wrote: partion. partition,

I like tha YaSt partitioning tool. I prefer to set up my partitions with the boot partition, root partition, primary swap, and home. I like to keep my swap toward the front of the drive since it will be closer to the data. The reason that I have a separate /home partition is that I can unmount it if I am doing something dangerous which could cause a hang. (In a previous message I mentioned that with SuSE 6.3 on my system SaX hangs when I configure modes even just 640x480). My primary drive is a 20GB WD, with /dev/hda1 Windows95, then an extended partition with logical partiitons:/dev/hda5 - /boot, /dev/hda6 - /, /dev/hda7 swap, and /dev/hda8 /home. Had I put a bit more thought on this, I would have also allocated a /var partition to be adjacent to the swap since /var tends to be rather busy. On 15 Mar 00, at 9:32, Samy Elashmawy wrote:
