I wanted to install LFS on a fresh partition and this was the only unused SATA drive I had. I had small IDE drives, but this computer doesn't have an IDE interface. And when it comes to cost now $40 gets you double this size. I could repartition the drive, but I am trying to avoid it. I installed a ZFS filesystem on the first partition and I'd hate to get rid of it, but I can.
Anyway, I can't do anything with it right now. I'm not near the machine. --- On Fri, 2/12/10, Simon Geard <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Simon Geard <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Booting problems again > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, February 12, 2010, 7:32 PM > On Fri, 2010-02-12 at 20:48 -0600, > Bruce Dubbs wrote: > > IMO, 750G is way too big for an LFS partition. > > Well, not *too* big, in the sense of causing problems. > "Unnecessarily > big" might be a better wording, and I'd agree. > > Separating data from applications is practically a > necessity when it > comes to upgrading / reinstalling things in future, and > 20Gb is more > than enough for applications. > > Simon. > > -----Inline Attachment Follows----- > > -- > http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page > -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
