How to partition the disk
Hi there,
i created the 3 partition as it says in 1.1.3 and 1.2.1, but the OS is not booting and it seems like the aprtitioning is wrong.
what is not clear in the guide is that which one is the boot partition? it doesn’t say anywhere in the guide to flag boopt on on one of the partitions. and is the not bootable one still a primary or logical?
Thanks.

Here’s the partitioning on our hub (it’s an earlier version of HUBzero software with patches).
~ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 96124904 20738852 70503100 23% /
tmpfs 12345324 0 12345324 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10240 780 9460 8% /dev
tmpfs 12345324 0 12345324 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 864263356 32286352 788074976 4% /export

p.s. for our open source hub, we actually have separate partitions for /var and /tmp.
We initially partitioned /var with 2885780 1-K blocks, and that is too small. /var/lib holds the vz containers (every tool runs in a vz container). Without any open tool sessions, the partition is 88% full, and each tool session adds 1% more.
We also had a partition for /tmp that filled up quite fast. /tmp is used by contribtool as temporary space to copy from the tool’s svn locker into /apps. Sometimes things don’t go quite right and the tool’s zipped svn folder doesn’t get cleaned up from /tmp. We moved /tmp onto another partition and soft linked to it as a fix.

Here’s our reconfigured partition of a 1 TB disk. Not perfect, but sufficient space for /var (175 GB) and /tmp (3 GB).
