#It is recommended to rescan the hard disks by clicking on the rescan button (loop symbol).
#Before you proceed with creating partitions, let's see the partitions that we need to create for our host computer:<ul><li>Primary Partitions (ext4):<ul><li>'''20GB''' for '''/''' (i.e. "root")</li><li>'''30GB''' for /home</li><li>'''100GB''' for '''/var/lib/libvirt/images''' </li></ul> </li><li>Swap Partition:<ul><li>'''8GB''' (Note: "swap" must be selected from the drop down menu)</li></ul></li></ul><br>'''NOTE:''' Remember that the sizes are recorded in MB (eg. 20 GB = 20000 MB) and you should multiply GB by a factor of 1024 to get the correct size.<br> (eg.
