Hi everyone, I just purchased a dell xps 13 and I am getting ready to set up dual boot. I noticed that the hard drive (in windows) has 3 partitions in this order: 500mb EFI partition, the operating system (C drive, 117gb), and an 850mb recovery drive after that.
Using the windows shrink tool, I am freeing up 83gb of the windows partition to install opensuse. I know that I will have a swap, the root partition, and a data partition.
My question is, is this likely to present a problem for the windows recovery partition, since it is at the end of the drive, and my windows and linux partitions are in the middle? I have no idea what windows will do when all of a sudden there are 3 extra partitions in between it and the recovery partition.
With only 83GB of space for openSUSE I'd recommend against using a separate data partition While the minimal recommend root partition size for btrfs with snapshots is 40GB, that really is 'minimal', and there really is no harm in having /home on the same partition as a btrfs root file system now we have a subvolume for /home. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
