Figure 15.1 The YaST Partitioner
TIP: IBM System z: Device Names
IBM System z recognize only DASD and SCSI hard disks. IDE hard disks are not
supported. This is why these devices appear in the partition table as
dasda
or
sda
for the first recognized device.
All existing or suggested partitions on all connected hard disks are displayed in the list
of Available Storage in the YaST Expert Partitioner dialog. Entire hard disks are listed
as devices without numbers, such as
/dev/sda
(or
/dev/dasda
). Partitions are
listed as parts of these devices, such as
/dev/sda1
(or
/dev/dasda1
, respectively).
The size, type, file system, and mount point of the hard disks and their partitions are
also displayed. The mount point describes where the partition appears in the Linux file
system tree.
Several functional views are available on the lefthand System View. Use these views
to gather information about existing storage configurations, or to configure functions
like
RAID
,
Volume Management
,
Crypt Files
, or
NFS
.
If you run the expert dialog during installation, any free hard disk space is also listed
and automatically selected. To provide more disk space to SUSE® Linux Enterprise
