Here's my partition setup. I used the devuan alpha 2 installer onto an empty hard drive: root@notlookedfor:/home/hendrik/write/nano# fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x512209a8 Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 2048 78125055 78123008 37.3G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 78127102 1953523711 1875396610 894.3G 5 Extended /dev/sda5 78127104 87889919 9762816 4.7G 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 87891968 89843711 1951744 953M 83 Linux /dev/sda7 89845760 91797503 1951744 953M 83 Linux /dev/sda8 91799552 93751295 1951744 953M 83 Linux /dev/sda9 93753344 95705087 1951744 953M 83 Linux /dev/sda10 95707136 1953523711 1857816576 885.9G 8e Linux LVM Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. root@notlookedfor:/home/hendrik/write/nano# The first partition is empty, set aside in case I ever need to dual-boot with another operating system that needs to be in the first partition. /dev/sda6 is /boot. All the other currently used Linux partitions are in /dev/sda10. 'dev/sda7, 8, and 9 are there in case I ever need /boot's for other Linux systems. I have found it less troublesome in the past to put /boot in a traditional partition instead of in an LVM. Notice the 2048 unused sectors at the start. That's presumably where grub can reside. I don't have an EFI partition. My system has a traditional BIOS. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
