60 Appendix C. An Introduction to Disk Partitions
Continuing our example, it is also possible that one or more directories below
/usr/
would be
mount points for other partitions. For instance, a partition (say,
/dev/hda7
) could be mounted on
/usr/local/
, meaning that
/usr/local/man/whatis
would then reside on
/dev/hda7
rather
than
/dev/hda5
.
C.1.8. How Many Partitions?
At this point in the process of preparing to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you must give some
consideration to the number and size of the partitions to be used by your new operating system. The
question of "how many partitions" continues to spark debate within the Linux community and, without
any end to the debate in sight, it is safe to say that there are probably as many partition layouts as there
are people debating the issue.
Keeping this in mind, we recommend that, unless you have a reason for doing otherwise, you should
at least create the following partitions:
swap
,
/boot/
(a /boot/ file is only necessary for pSeries
systems, not iSeries systems), PPC PReP Boot, and
/
(root). Note that new virtual disks can be added
dynamically on OS/400 release V5R2 and later.
