From aae019d71a095b4bf234a1204e9508ee82167899 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frans Pop Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 17:22:27 +0000 Subject: Remove untranslated and obsolete files for the Basque translation --- eu/partitioning/partition/ia64.xml | 86 -------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 86 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 eu/partitioning/partition/ia64.xml (limited to 'eu/partitioning/partition/ia64.xml') diff --git a/eu/partitioning/partition/ia64.xml b/eu/partitioning/partition/ia64.xml deleted file mode 100644 index 50620040d..000000000 --- a/eu/partitioning/partition/ia64.xml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,86 +0,0 @@ - - - - - Partitioning for &arch-title; - - -ia64 EFI firmware supports two partition table (or disk label) -formats, GPT and MS-DOS. MS-DOS is the format typically used on i386 -PCs, and is no longer recommended for ia64 systems. The installer -provides two partitioning programs, -cfdisk and -parted. -parted can manage both GPT and MS-DOS tables, while -cfdisk can only manage MS-DOS tables. It is very -important to note that if your disk has previously been partitioned -with a GPT table, and you now want to use MS-DOS tables, you must use -parted to create the new partition table. This is -because the two tables use different areas of a disk, and -cfdisk does not know how to remove a GPT table. - - - -An important difference between cfdisk and -parted is the way they identify a partition -``type''. cfdisk uses a byte in the partition -table (for example, 83 for a linux ext2 partition), while -parted identifies a partition ``type'' by examining -the data on that partition. This means that parted -will not consider a partition to be a swap partition until you format -it as such. Similarly, it won't consider a partition a linux ext2 -partition until you create a file system on it. -parted does allow you to create file systems and -format swap space, and you should do that from within -parted. - - - -Unfortunately, parted is a command line driven -program and so not as easy to use as cfdisk. -Assuming that you want to erase your whole disk and create a GPT table -and some partitions, then something similar to the following command -sequence could be used: - - - - - mklabel gpt - mkpartfs primary fat 0 50 - mkpartfs primary linux-swap 51 1000 - mkpartfs primary ext2 1001 3000 - set 1 boot on - print - quit - - - - -That creates a new partition table, and three partitions to be used as -an EFI boot partition, swap space, and a root file system. Finally it -sets the boot flag on the EFI partition. Partitions are specified in -Megabytes, with start and end offsets from the beginning of the disk. -So, for example, above we created a 1999MB ext2 file system starting -at offset 1001MB from the start of the disk. Note that formatting swap -space with parted can take a few minutes to -complete, as it scans the partition for bad blocks. - - - - - Boot Loader Partition Requirements - - - -ELILO, the ia64 boot loader, requires a partition containing a FAT -file system. If you used GPT partition tables, then that partition -should have the boot flag set; if you used -MS-DOS partition tables, then that partition should be of type "EF". -The partition must be big enough to hold the boot loader and any -kernels or RAMdisks you may wish to boot. A minimum size would be -about 16MB, but if you are likely to be doing development, or -experimenting with different kernels, then 128MB might be a better -size. - - - \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
