54 Start-Up point of the hard disks and their partitions are also displayed. The mount point describes where the partition appears in the Linux file system tree. If you run the expert dialog during installation, any free hard disk space is also listed and automatically selected. To provide more disk space to SUSE Linux, free the needed space starting from the bottom toward the top of the list (starting from the last partition of a hard disk toward the first). For example, if you have three partitions, you cannot use the second exclusively for SUSE Linux and retain the third and first for other operating systems. Creating a Partition Select Create. If several hard disks are connected, a selection dialog appears in which to select a hard disk for the new partition. Then, specify the partition type (primary or extended). Create up to four primary partitions or up to three primary partitions and one extended partition. Within the extended partition, create several logical partitions (see Section “Partition Types” (page 9)). Select the file system to use and a mount point, if necessary. YaST suggests a mount point for each partition created. Details of the parameters are provided in the next section. Select OK to apply your changes. The new partition is then listed in the partition table. If you click Next, the current values are adopted. During installation you are then returned to the suggestion screen. Partitioning Parameters When you create a new partition or modify an existing partition, set various parameters. For new partitions, suitable parameters are set by YaST and usually do not require any modification. To perform manual settings, proceed as follows: 1. Select the partition. 2. Click Edit to edit the partition and set the parameters: File System ID Even if you do not want to format the partition at this stage, assign it a file system ID to ensure that the partition is registered correctly. Possible values include Linux, Linux swap, Linux LVM, and Linux RAID. For LVM and RAID details, refer to Section “LVM Configuration” (Chapter 2, Advanced
Disk Setup, ↑Reference) and Section “Soft RAID Configuration” (Chapter 2, Advanced Disk Setup, ↑Reference). File System To format the partition immediately within the scope of the installation, specify one of the following file systems for the partition: Swap, Ext2, Ext3, ReiserFS, or JFS. Refer to Chapter File Systems in Linux (↑Reference) for details on the various file systems. Swap is a special format that allows the partition to be used as virtual memory. ReiserFS is the default file system for the Linux partitions. Reiser- FS, JFS, and Ext3 are journaling file systems. These file systems are able to restore the system very quickly after a system crash, because write processes are logged during the operation. Furthermore, ReiserFS is very fast in handling lots of small files. Ext2 is not a journaling file system. However, it is rock solid and good for smaller partitions, because it does not require much disk space for management. File System Options Set various parameters for the selected file system here. Depending on the file system used, various options are offered for experts. Encrypt File System If you activate the encryption, all data is written to the hard disk in encrypted form. This increases the security of sensitive data, but slightly reduces the system speed, because the encryption takes some time. More information about the encryption of file systems is provided in Section “Encrypting Partitions and Files” (Chapter 4, Security in Linux, ↑Reference). Fstab Options Here, specify various parameters for the administration file of the file systems (/etc/fstab). Mount Point Specifies the directory at which the partition should be mounted in the file system tree. Select from various YaST proposals or enter any other name. 3. Select Next to activate the partition. System Configuration with YaST 55
