heading =WARNING|
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 accidentally get confused about what disks are which or you make an error.}}
The Amahi team makes the following recommendations when partitioning drives in Amahi 7/8or greater:
* 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.
= How to Partition=
At the partitioning point of the Fedora installer in the [[Amahi_8_Install|Amahi 8 Server DVD]], [[Express_Disc|Amahi 7 Express Disc]] or the [[Amahi 7 full DVD]]) install, you do this:
* Select '''INSTALLATION DESTINATION''' under ''STORAGE'' section.
* Verify the correct drive is selected, then choose '''Done'''.
# 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 Amahi 7.1 installation yet''.
* First we need to make the ''Swap''. Click on the plus (+) and a window will appear:
# Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''Swap''.
