[opensuse-factory] Partition size recommandations sought to install Leap Beta42.2 on a small SSD flash drive
Hello all I installed Windows 10 on a friend's PC which has a 500 GB hard drive as well as a small SanDisk-SSD i100 24 GG flash drive. I pre formatted both drives NTFS before the install. The fresh install of Win 10 ignored the existing SanDisk-SSD i100*. This seems like a bit of a waste. Yast2 reads the SanDisk-SSD i100 size as 22.37 Gio. [*] Seen as /dev/sdb 22.37 Gio HPFS/NFDS NTFS under Yast2 on Leap42.2 I would like to install Leap42.2 on this machine using an EXT4 filesystem. Note : I usually do something simple like this Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 43G 27G 14G 67% / Any advice in terms of the size to use to setup (via the Export mode using Yast2) the different (home, var partitions) filesystems (for a low maintenance setup) so that Leap42.2 can take advantage of the small and used SanDisk-SSD i100 24 GB flash drive would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance Regards James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Don't setup a /var partition. And there will not be automatic proposals to use the SSD disk. You might use something like 30GB for root, the rest for home. And swap. Or you might place root on the SSD instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Hi James, I rarely advice using the Expert mode unless you 100% know what you are doing - I mean no disrespect but anyone asking questions like this are by definition people whom probably should not use the Expert mode My advice would be to use the "Create Partition Setup" mode: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/273093#step/partitioning_filesystem/1 The whole point of that middle button is to provide a smoother, guided workflow for users who want more control than the "Edit Proposals Setting" option. It has the additional functionality of being able to pick which device they want to install on, and which partitions they want to override, but otherwise uses the standard openSUSE recommendations and automatic proposals, which obviously are what I typically suggest Hope this helps -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
