Dear *, I've facing one problem ( doing partitioning practice on 10GB IDE hard-disk ) I'm trying to create following partition layout > *Partition* > > > > *Size* > > > > *Use* > > > > *Comment* > > hda1 > > > > 100MB > > > > /boot > > > > Maintains boot files > > hda2 > > > > 500MB > > > > swap > > > > Probably plenty of space > > hda3 > > > > 5GB > > > > / > > > > The root directory > > hda4 > > > > 4500MB > > > > Extended partition > > > > Solely a container for logical partitions > > hda5 > > > > 500MB > > > > /var > > > > For print spool files > > hda6 > > > > 1000MB > > > > /var/www > > > > Web services > > hda7 > > > > 2000MB > > > > /home > > > > No interactive users > > hda8 > > > > 1000MB > > > > /usr > > > > Additional network services > I've done this on disk druid licked on new ---> mount point */boot *filesystem type ext3 100MB ( fixed sized is selected ) and it becomes hda1 again licked on new ----> filesystem type Swap 500MB ( fixed sized is selected ) and it becomes hda2 ... now creating / ( root ) partition again clicked on new ---> mount point */* filesystem type ext3 5000mb ( fixed sized is selected ) ... now something happens as soon as I press ok the swap partition is sifted to hda3 (previously it was on hda2 ) and / partition goes to hda2 if I go ahead with this and create other partition / goes to hda5 why like this ???? how do I exactly maintain the said order of the partition in exercise ?? -- °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Jatin Khatri -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
