Partisjonering
In this screen you can see the content of your hard drive(s) and see the
solutions the DrakX partitioning wizard found for where to install
Mageia.
The options available from the list below will vary depending on your
particular hard drive(s) layout and content.
Bruk gamle partisjoner
If this option is available, then existing Linux compatible partitions have
been found and may be used for the installation.
Bruk ledig plass
If you have unused space on your hard drive then this option will use it for
your new Mageia installation.
Bruk ledig plass på Microsoft Windows®-partisjonen
If you have unused space on an existing Windows partition, the installer may
offer to use it.
This can be a useful way of making room for your new Mageia installation,
but is a risky operation so you should make sure you have backed up all
important files!
Note that this involves shrinking the size of the Windows partition. The
partition must be "clean", meaning that Windows must have closed down
correctly the last time it was used. It must also have been defragmented,
although this is not a guarantee that all files in the partition have been
moved out of the area that is about to be used. It is highly recommended to
back up your personal files.
With this option, the installer displays the remaining Windows partition in
light blue and the future Mageia partition in dark blue with their intended
sizes just under. You have the possibility to adapt these sizes by clicking
and dragging the gap between both partitions. See the screen-shot below.
Slett og bruk hele disken
Dette alternativet vil bruke hele disken for Mageia
Note! This will erase ALL data on the selected hard drive. Take care!
If you intend to use part of the disk for something else, or you already
have data on the drive that you are not prepared to lose, then do not use
this option.
Selvvalgt
This gives you complete control over the placing of the installation on your
hard drive(s).
Sett opp partisjonsstørrelser:
The installer will share the available place out according to the following
rules:
If the total available place is lower than 50 GB, only one partition is
created for /, there is no separate partition for /home.
If the total available place is over 50 GB, then three partitions are
created
6/19 of the total available place is allocated to / with a maximum of 50 GB
1/19 is allocated to swap with a maximum of 4 GB
the rest (at least 12/19) is allocated to /home
That means that from 160 GB and over of available place, the installer will
create three partitions: 50 GB for /, 4 GB for swap and the rest for /home.
If you are using an UEFI system, the ESP (EFI System Partition) will be
automatically detected, or created if it does not exist yet, and mounted on
/boot/EFI. The "Custom" option is the only one that allows to check it has
been correctly done
If you are using a Legacy (as known as CSM or BIOS) system with a GPT disk,
you need to create a Bios boot partition if not already existing. It is an
about 1 MiB partition with no mount point. Choose the "Custom disk
partitioning" option to be able to create it with the Installer like any
other partition, just select BIOS boot partition as filesystem type.
Some newer drives are now using 4096 byte logical sectors, instead of the
previous standard of 512 byte logical sectors. Due to lack of available
hardware, the partitioning tool used in the installer has not been tested
with such a drive. Also some ssd drives now use an erase block size over 1
MB. We suggest to pre-partition the drive, using an alternative partitioning
tool like gparted, if you own such a device, and to use the following
settings:
"Align to" "MiB"
"Free space preceding (MiB)" "2"
Also make sure all partitions are created with an even number of megabytes.
