message = Recommend you disable/unplug ALL hard disks you do not want to put the system on to make it easier to partition. Data loss can result if you don't know accidentally get confused about what disks are which or you make an error.}}The default setup in Fedora is to use Logical Volume Management ([https://www.amahi.org/faq/does-amahi-support-lvm LVM]) which creates added complexity for inexperienced users. There is a lot of drive space dedicated to a /home partition. The Amahi team recommends removing makes the /home partition for best results. following recommendations when partitioning drives in Amahi 7 or greater:

The * Skip using [https://www.amahi.org/faq/does-amahi-support-lvm Logical Volume Management (LVM)], which creates added complexity for inexperienced users, in particular if there are disk failures.* Do not make a separate /home partition. Amahi does not recommend use of /home for storage for users* Allocate the majority of hard drive space should be made available in the / (root) partition.* Do not add extra drives while installing. recommend you do that later after the system is up and running successfully using [[Adding_a_second_hard_drive_to_your_HDA|adding a second hard drive to your HDA]] as this is where the a guide.* The majority of space, to be used by file shares (is set up to be at ''/var/hda/files'') reside and , which typically resides in the root partition.* If you plan to use the [[Greyhole]] drive pooling technology, keep in mind that by default location of the Greyhole "[[Greyhole_landing_zone|Greyhole Landing Zone]]" will be located in the root partition. This needs to have enough space to accommodate the single largest transaction that you plan or foresee you will make.

= How to Partition=At the partitioning point of the Fedora installer, you do this: * Select Create Custom Layout '''INSTALLATION DESTINATION''' under ''STORAGE'' section.* Verify the correct drive is selected, then choose '''Done'''.* Ensure '''Partition scheme''' reflects ''Standard Partition''.* Choose ''I want to review/modify my disk partitions before continuing'' and click Nextselect '''Continue'''.* Next delete lv-root, lv-swapWhen prompted with '''INSTALLATION OPTIONS''', select ''Custom partitioning''.* Choose each partition and vg_xxxxxxx by selecting one at a time and clicking delete select the '''minus''' (xxxxxx is different on every machine-)to remove them individually until all the partitions have been removed.* Now # If prompted ''Are you sure you want to delete ALL partitions under hard drivesall the data on...'', choose '''Delete it'''# Ensure ''Delete all other filesystems in the Unknown root as well'' is selected. Now you will * You should now see free space as the size of the drivemessage ''You haven't created any mount points for your installation yet''.* First we need to make the swap''Swap''. Click on the free space plus (+) and click Createa window will appear: # Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''Swap''.* On # Enter '''Desired Capacity''' based on the menu select standard partitionchart below.* Go to file system type and click Swap# Select '''Add mount point'''.* ::'''NOTE:''' The recommended size of a swap partition depending on the amount of RAM in your system. For example, if you have > 1GB of ram and plenty of HDD space, make it 2GB Fixed size and select OK. ::{|class="wikitable"

You can now continue = Example =For a system with 1GB RAM and 10GB hard drive, the install as normalfollowing settings would apply for '''Desired capacity''':* Swap = 2GB* /boot = 500MB* / = 7.73GB
