15.1.2 Creating a Partition
To create a partition from scratch select Hard Disks and then a hard disk with free
space. The actual modification can be done in the Partitions tab:
1 Select Add. If several hard disks are connected, a selection dialog appears in
which to select a hard disk for the new partition.
2 Specify the partition type (primary or extended). Create up to four primary parti-
tions or up to three primary partitions and one extended partition. Within the
extended partition, create several logical partitions (see
Section 15.1.1, “Partition
Types” (page 229)).
3 Select the file system to use and a mount point. YaST suggests a mount point
for each partition created. To use a different mount method, like mount by label,
select Fstab Options.
4 Specify additional file system options if your setup requires them. This is neces-
sary, for example, if you need persistent device names. For details on the available
options, refer to
Section 15.1.3, “Editing a Partition” (page 230).
5 Click OK > Apply to apply your partitioning setup and leave the partitioning
module.
If you created the partition during installation, you are returned to the installation
overview screen.
15.1.3 Editing a Partition

For new partitions, suitable parameters are set by YaST and usually do not require any
modification. To edit your partition setup manually, proceed as follows:
1 Select the partition.
2 Click Edit to edit the partition and set the parameters:
