4-12 Installing Linux on Alpha Systems

4.6.1 Partitioning Guidelines

Before you start the partitioning, note the following:

• Partitions are letters from a–h (not numbers). Partition "c" covers the

whole of the disk. You will need to delete partition "c" to install Linux

correctly. See Section 4.6.2.

• While the disk parameters are viewable, make note of them, because you

will use them more often than in making a DOS disklabel.

• Creating a new partition uses the same procedure as the DOS disklabel

method except that the partitions are referred to by letter instead of

number. That is, n to make a new partition, followed by the partition letter,

followed by the starting block, followed by the end block.

• Setting partition type is slightly different from the DOS disklabel method

because the numbering scheme is different (1 is swap, 8 is ext2).

The following multi-partition layout is strongly recommended:

Swap partition

A swap partition is used to support virtual memory. A

swap partition of two times the computer RAM is

recommended.

Root partition

The root partition is where the /root_directory resides.
