The -partitions are numbered <quote>1</quote> through to <quote>8</quote> in -Linux and <quote>lettered</quote> <quote>a</quote> through to -<quote>h</quote> in UNIX. Linux kernels 2.2 and higher always correspond -<quote>1</quote> to <quote>a</quote>, <quote>2</quote> to <quote>b</quote> -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 a Tru64 disk label may overlap. Moreover, if this disk -will be used from Tru64, the <quote>c</quote> 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). However, the partman -partitioning tool used by &d-i; cannot handle overlapping partitions at -present. As a result, it is currently not recommended to share disks -between Tru64 and Debian. Partitions on Tru64 disks can be mounted -under Debian after installation has been completed. - -</para><para> - -Another conventional requirement is for the <quote>a</quote> 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. -Note that this partition is only required for compatibility; you must -not put a file system onto it, or you'll destroy data. - -</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 to write a <quote>harmless -signature</quote> 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. Debian &releasename; does not support -installing MILO. If you already have MILO installed on your system, or -install MILO from other media, Debian can still be booted from ARC. - -</para> - </sect2> |
