Partitioning

Suggested Partitioning

In this screen you can see the content of your hard drive(s) along with the +DrakX partitioning proposals for where to install Mageia.

The actual options available from those shown below will vary according to +the layout and content of your particular hard drive(s).

Main Options

Use Existing Partitions
If this option is available, then existing Linux compatible partitions have +been found and may be used for the installation.
Use Free Space
If you have unused space on your hard drive then this option will use it for +your new Mageia installation.
Use Free Space on a Windows Partition
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!
With this option, the installer displays the remaining Windows partition in +light blue and the proposed Mageia partition in dark blue with their +intended sizes just underneath. You have the option to modify these sizes by +clicking and dragging the gap between both partitions. See the following +screenshot:
Erase and use Entire Disk
This option will allocate the entire drive for Mageia
Pozor
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.
Pomembno
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.
Custom Disk Partitioning
S tem imate popoln nadzor nad namestitvijo na (enem ali več) vaših diskov.

If you are not using the Custom disk partitioning +option, then the installer will allocate the available space according to +the following rules:

If the total available space is less than 50 GB, then only one partition is +created. This will be the / (root) partition.
Če je vsega razpoložljivega prostora na voljo več kot 50 GB, bodo ustvarjeni +trije razdelki
- 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

This means that from 160 GB or greater available space, the installer will +create three partitions:

50 GB for /
4 GB for swap
and the remainder for /home

Opomba

If you are using a 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 disk +partitioning option is the only one that allows to check it has +been correctly done.

If you are using a Legacy (also known as BIOS) system with a GPT partitioned +disk, you need to create a BIOS boot partition if it doesn't already +exist. It should be about 1 MiB with no mount point. It can be created with +the Installer, under Custom disk partitioning, like any +other partition. Be sure to select “BIOS boot partition” for +filesystem type.

See DiskDrake for information on how to proceed.

Pomembno

Some newer drives are now using 4096 byte logical sectors, instead of the +previous standard of 512. Due to lack of available hardware, the +partitioning tool used in the installer has not been tested with such a +drive.

Some SSD devices now use an erase block size over 1 MB. If you have such a +device we suggest that you partition the drive in advance, using an +alternative partitioning tool like gparted, and to use the following +settings:

Align to = MiB
Free space preceding (MiB) = 2

Also make sure all partitions are created using an even number of megabytes.

Here you see the Linux partitions that have been found on your computer. If +you don't agree with the DrakX suggestions, you can change the mount points +yourself.

To the left of the drop-down menus is a list of available partitions. For +example: sda is a hard drive - and +5 is a partition number, followed +by the (capacity, mount point, filesystem type) of the +partition.
If you have several partitions, you can choose various different +mount points from the drop down menu, such as +/, /home and +/var. You can even make your own mount points, for +instance /video for a partition where you want to store +your films, or perhaps /Data for all your data files.
For any partitions that you don't need to make use of, you can leave the +mount point field blank.

Pozor

If you make any changes here, ensure you still have a / +(root) partition.

Namig

If you are not sure what to choose, click Previous to +go back and then tick Custom disk partitioning, where +you can click on a partition to see its type and size.

If you are sure the mount points are correct, click on +Next, and choose whether you only want to format the +partition suggested by DrakX, or more.

Click on Previous if you are at all unsure about your +choice.
Click on Next to proceed if you are sure that it is OK +to erase every partition, every operating system and all +data that might be on that hard disk.

Custom Disk Partitioning with DiskDrake

Modify the layout of your disk(s) here. You can remove or create partitions, +change the filesystem or size of a partition and even view their details +before you start.
There is a tab at the top for every detected hard disk (or other storage +device, like a USB key). In the screenshot above there are two available +devices: sda and sdb.
For all other actions: click on the desired partition first. Then view it, +or choose a filesystem and a mount point, resize it or wipe +it. Expert mode provides more options such as to label +(name) a partition, or to choose a partition type.
Continue until you have adjusted everything to your satisfaction, then click +Done when you're ready.

Pozor

Take care with the Clear all option, use it only if you +are sure you want to wipe all partitions on the selected storage device.
If you wish to use encryption on your / partition you +must ensure that you have a separate /boot +partition. The encryption option for the /boot +partition must NOT be set, otherwise your system will be unbootable.

Pomembno

If you are installing Mageia on a UEFI system, check that an ESP (EFI System +Partition) is present and correctly mounted on +/boot/EFI. See Figure 1 below.
If you are installing Mageia on a Legacy/GPT system, check that a BIOS boot +partition is present and of the correct type. See Figure 2 below.

Formatiranje

Here you can choose which partition(s) you wish to format. Any data on +partitions not marked for formatting will be preserved.

Usually, at least the partitions that DrakX selected need to be formatted.

Click on Advanced to choose the partitions you want to +check for so-called bad blocks

Namig

If you're not sure you have made the right choice, you can click on +Previous, again on Previous and +then on Custom to get back to the main screen, where +you can choose to view details of your partitions.

When you are confident about the selections, click on +Next to continue.
