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 the /home partition for best results.

The majority of hard drive space should be made available Amahi team makes the following recommendations when partitioning drives in / (root) as this is where the file shares (''/var/hda/files'') reside and the default location of the [[Greyhole_landing_zone|Greyhole Landing Zone]]. Amahi 7:

* 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 in the / (root) partition.* Do not add extra drvies while installing* The majority of space, to be used by file shares is set up to be at ''/var/hda/files'', which typically resides in the root partition.* If you plan to use the [[Greyhole]] drive pooling technology, keep in mind that by default the Greyhole "[[Greyhole_landing_zone|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 installerin the Amahi Express 7 CD install (or the [[Amahi 7 full DVD]] install), you do this:
