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 [https://www.amahi.org/faq/does-amahi-support-lvm Logical Volume Management (LVM)] which creates added complexity for inexperienced users. The majority of drive space is 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]].  At " will be located in the partitioning point of the Fedora installer: * Select '''Create Custom Layout''' and click '''Next'''.* Next delete ''lv-root'', ''lv-swap'', and ''vg_xxxxxxx'' by selecting one at a time and clicking '''delete''' (''xxxxxx'' is different on every machine).* Now delete '''ALL''' partitions under hard drivespartition. Now you will see free space as the size of the drive.* First we need This needs to make the swap. Click on the free have enough space and click '''Create''':# On the menu select '''standard partition'''. # Go to file system type and click '''Swap'''. # The recommended size of a swap partition depending on accommodate the amount of RAM in your system. For example, if single largest transaction that you plan or foresee you have 1GB of ram and plenty of HDD space, will make it 2GB Fixed size and select OK.
= How to Partition=
At the partitioning point of the Fedora installer, you do this:
* Select '''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 select '''Continue'''.
* When prompted with '''INSTALLATION OPTIONS''', select ''Custom partitioning''.
* Choose each partition and select the '''minus''' (-) to remove them individually until all the partitions have been removed.
# If prompted ''Are you sure you want to delete all the data on...'', choose '''Delete it'''
# Ensure ''Delete all other filesystems in the Unknown root as well'' is selected.
* You should now see the message ''You haven't created any mount points for your installation yet''.
* First we need to make the ''Swap''. Click on the plus (+) and a window will appear:
# Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''Swap''.
# Enter '''Desired Capacity''' based on the chart below.
# Select '''Add mount point'''.
::'''NOTE:''' The recommended size of a swap partition depending on the amount of RAM in your system.
::{|class="wikitable"

* Next is ''/boot''. Click on the plus (+) and a window will appear:
# Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''/boot''.
# Enter '''Desired Capacity''' of ''500MB''.
# Select '''Add mount point'''.
* The last one is the ''/'' (root). Click on the plus (+) and a window will appear:
# Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''/''.
# Enter '''Desired Capacity''' of the amount of remaining disk space (this is displayed at the bottom of the installer window)
# Select '''Add mount point'''.
* Review the partition scheme and if it looks ok, choose '''Done''' and select '''Accept changes'''.
* Click '''Create''' again, and we will make a ''/boot'' mount point:
# Click free space and select '''Create'''.
# Choose '''Standard Partition''' and under mount point select ''/boot''.
# Select '''Ext4''' for file system type. Should be 500MB, but not less than 200MB and click '''OK'''.
* The last one, the ROOT partition (recommend it be the rest of the disk):
# Just click free space, and '''Create''' one more time.
# For mount point select ''/''.
# File system type select '''Ext4''' under leave the size box alone.
# Select '''Fill to Maximum allowable size''' to use up the rest of the disk.
* Click '''NEXT''' and select '''Write Changes to Disk'''
You can now continue with the install as normal.
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
