Subject: [Yast-dev] Help required during Manual install partition proposal Hello All,
I am working on Linux installation. I have encountered a problem for which I need your suggestion.
Problem Statement: Partition proposal goes for a toss during manual installation. Partition proposal that we need. We need the partition proposal as follow. boot( minimal), swap(2 times the RAM), root and COS(this is our own filesystem) each getting 50% of the remaining respectively.
Where the problem occurs:
During installation in manual mode, the partition proposal on the UI is shown with the right percentage for each partition as mentioned above. But once I enter custom partitioning menu, the start and end region of boot, swap, root takes up all the disk region leaving out COS, hence we dont get the right proposal when we move forward in the installation.
What did you do to get the proposal to match your needs? And what version are you working with? SLES 10?
Further we will be adding another partition to the existing ones named /var. Since maximum partitions that we can have is 4 and we already have 4 as mentioned above. How can we add /var partition.
MSDOS partition tables can only have four primary partitions. But
you can create an extended partition instead of one primary and
place several logical partitions inside it.
