The -partitions are numbered `1' through to `8' in -Linux and ``lettered'' `a' through to `h' in UNIX. -Linux kernels 2.2 and higher always correspond `1' to -`a', `2' to `b' and so on. For -example, <filename>rz0e</filename> in Tru64 UNIX would most likely be called -<filename>sda5</filename> in Linux. - -</para><para> - -Partitions in the disk label may overlap. Moreover, the `c' partition -is required to span the entire disk (thus overlapping all other -non-empty partitions). Under Linux this makes <filename>sda3</filename> -identical to <filename>sda</filename> (<filename>sdb3</filename> to <filename>sdb</filename>, if -present, and so on). Apart from satisfying this requirement, you -should carefully avoid creating overlapping partitions. - -</para><para> - -Another conventional requirement is for the `a' partition to start from -the beginning of the disk, so that it always includes the boot block -with the disk label. If you intend to boot Debian from that disk, you -need to size it at least 2MB to fit aboot and perhaps a kernel. - -</para><para> - -Note that these two partitions are only required for compatibility; -you must not put a file system onto them, or you'll destroy data. If -you're not going to share the disk with Tru64 Unix or one of the free -4.4BSD-Lite derived operating systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or NetBSD), -you can ignore these requirements, and use the partitioning tool from -the Debian boot disks. See <xref linkend="partition-programs"/> for details. - -</para><para> - -Disks can be partitioned with the graphical disk configuration tool that -is accessible through the Application Manager, or with the command-line -<command>disklabel</command> utility. Partition type for the Linux file -system should be set to `resrvd8'. This can only be done via -<command>disklabel</command>; however, all other configuration can easily be -performed with the graphical tool. - -</para><para> - -It is possible, and indeed quite reasonable, to share a swap partition -between UNIX and Linux. In this case it will be needed to do a -<command>mkswap</command> on that partition every time the system is rebooted -from UNIX into Linux, as UNIX will damage the swap signature. You may -want to run <command>mkswap</command> from the Linux start-up scripts before -adding swap space with <command>swapon -a</command>. - -</para><para> - -If you want to mount UNIX partitions under Linux, note that Digital UNIX -can use two different file system types, UFS and AdvFS, of which Linux -only understands the former. - -</para> - </sect2> - - <sect2 arch="alpha"><title>Partitioning in Windows NT</title> - -<para> - -Windows NT uses the PC-style partition table. If you are manipulating -existing FAT or NTFS partitions, it is recommended that you use the -native Windows NT tools (or, more conveniently, you can also -repartition your disk from the AlphaBIOS setup menu). Otherwise, it -is not really necessary to partition from Windows; the Linux -partitioning tools will generally do a better job. Note that when you -run NT, the Disk Administrator may offer you to write a ``harmless -signature'' on non-Windows disks if you have any. <emphasis>Never</emphasis> let -it do that, as this signature will destroy the partition information. - -</para><para> - -If you plan to boot Linux from an ARC/AlphaBIOS/ARCSBIOS console, you -will need a (small) FAT partition for MILO. 5 Mb is quite -sufficient. If Windows NT is installed, its 6 Mb bootstrap partition -can be employed for this purpose. - -</para> - </sect2> |
