Re: [ILUG-BOM] Disk Partitioning in RHL 7.1

Sometime on Aug 2, Sameer Shinde assembled some asciibets to say:

Add Edit Delete Reset Make RAID device (BTW wht is RAID)

Drive Summery Device Geom [c/h/s] Total(M) Free(M) Used(M) used (%) hda [2481/255/63] 19461M 3883M 15578M 80 %

---

If I try to mount the entire free disk space (3883MB) as linux native with mount point as / (root) then the system gives the message that, " There are currently unallocated

Set your root partition to 1MB, and select `grow to fill disk' or something like that. I don't remember.

Then, select your swap as exactly 128MB, do not select grow to fill disk.

This should work, but you won't be able to boot with lilo until you upgrade your lilo. Make sure you create a boot disk when you are prompted for it.
