"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."

"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?"

"If you have a large disk, you might have to use cylinder translation "

"More information about issues with large disks can be found in the <ulink "

"The recommended way of accomplishing this is to create a small "
"(25&ndash;50MB should suffice) partition at the beginning of the disk to be "
"used as the boot partition, and then create whatever other partitions you "
"wish to have, in the remaining area. This boot partition <emphasis>must</"
"emphasis> be mounted on <filename>/boot</filename>, since that is the "
"directory where the &arch-kernel; kernel(s) will be stored. This "
"configuration will work on any system, regardless of whether LBA or large "
"disk CHS translation is used, and regardless of whether your BIOS supports "
"the large disk access extensions."
