"At a bare minimum, GNU/&arch-kernel; needs one partition for itself. You can "
"have a single partition containing the entire operating system, "
"applications, and your personal files. Most people feel that a separate swap "
"partition is also a necessity, although it's not strictly true. <quote>Swap</"
"quote> is scratch space for an operating system, which allows the system to "
"use disk storage as <quote>virtual memory</quote>. By putting swap on a "
"separate partition, &arch-kernel; can make much more efficient use of it. It "
"is possible to force &arch-kernel; to use a regular file as swap, but it is "
"not recommended."

"Most people choose to give GNU/&arch-kernel; more than the minimum number of "
"partitions, however. There are two reasons you might want to break up the "
"file system into a number of smaller partitions. The first is for safety. If "
"something happens to corrupt the file system, generally only one partition "
"is affected. Thus, you only have to replace (from the backups you've been "
"carefully keeping) a portion of your system. At a bare minimum, you should "
"consider creating what is commonly called a <quote>root partition</quote>. "
"This contains the most essential components of the system. If any other "
"partitions get corrupted, you can still boot into GNU/&arch-kernel; to fix "
"the system. This can save you the trouble of having to reinstall the system "
"from scratch."
msgstr ""
#. Tag: para

"The second reason is generally more important in a business setting, but it "
"really depends on your use of the machine. For example, a mail server "
"getting spammed with e-mail can easily fill a partition. If you made "
"<filename>/var/mail</filename> a separate partition on the mail server, most "
"of the system will remain working even if you get spammed."

"The only real drawback to using more partitions is that it is often "
"difficult to know in advance what your needs will be. If you make a "
"partition too small then you will either have to reinstall the system or you "
"will be constantly moving things around to make room in the undersized "
"partition. On the other hand, if you make the partition too big, you will be "
"wasting space that could be used elsewhere. Disk space is cheap nowadays, "
"but why throw your money away?"

"ELILO, the IA-64 boot loader, requires a partition containing a FAT file "
"system with the <userinput>boot</userinput> flag set. 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 20MB, but if you expect to run with "
"multiple kernels, then 128MB might be a better size."

"The EFI Boot Manager and the EFI Shell fully support the GPT table so the "
"boot partition does not necessarily have to be the first partition or even "
"on the same disk. This is convenient if you should forget to allocate the "
"partition and only find out after you have formatted the other partitions on "
"your disk(s). The <command>partman</command> partitioner checks for an EFI "
"partition at the same time it checks for a properly set up <emphasis>root</"
"emphasis> partition. This gives you an opportunity to correct the disk "
"layout before the package install begins. The easiest way to correct this "
"omission is to shrink the last partition of the disk to make enough free "
"space for adding an EFI partition."

"The EFI firmware is significantly more sophisticated than the usual BIOS "
"seen on most x86 PCs. Some system vendors take advantage of the ability of "
"the EFI to access files and run programs from a hard disk filesystem to "
"store diagnostics and EFI based system management utilities on the hard "
"disk. This is a separate FAT format filesystem on the system disk. Consult "
"the system documentation and accessories that come with the system for "
"details. The easiest time to set up a diagnostics partition is at the same "
"time you set up the EFI boot partition."

"SGI machines require an SGI disk label in order to make the system bootable "
"from hard disk. It can be created in the fdisk expert menu. The thereby "
"created volume header (partition number 9) should be at least 3MB large. If "
"the volume header created is too small, you can simply delete partition "
"number 9 and re-add it with a different size. Note that the volume header "
"must start at sector 0."
