- Separation of operating system files from data (easier recovery)
- Allows for booting multiple operating systems
- Separation of Data for efficient access and sharing
- Make certain to create the correct partitions (Have instructor or lab monitor confirm before proceeding with install):
- Primary Partitions (ext4):
- 30GB for / (i.e. "root")
- 40GB for /home
- 100GB for /var/lib/libvirt/images (need to manually enter this "mount-point")
- Swap Partition:
- 16GB (Note: "swap" must be selected from the drop down menu)
- NOTE: Remember that the sizes are recorded in MB (eg. 30 GB = 30000 MB) and you should multiply GB by a factor of 1024 to get the correct size.
(eg. 30 GB x 1024 = 30720 MB)
- NOTE: Remember that the sizes are recorded in MB (eg. 30 GB = 30000 MB) and you should multiply GB by a factor of 1024 to get the correct size.
