Dear friends:
I am still unclear about certain things having to do with creating a
/home partition.
1) I will create a / directory of 3 gig, a swap file of 128 meg and a
/home directory with the rest (I have a 4.3 gig drive) using DiskDruid.
I will call / hda1, but what do I call my /home directory? That is, what
is the basis for naming it hda4 or hda5, etc.? That is, what does the
number 4 in hda4 stand for? A sector? If so, how do I decide what to
name it?
2) If I create a /home directory with the remaining disk space, won't
root, that is, / create a /home directory automatically WITHIN its 3 gig
partition?
3) Is there a way to indicate a relative value for /home? That is, after
creating hda1 (3 gig) and a 128 meg swap file, is there a way for me to
indicate that I want the remaining space allocated to /home, that is
without indicating a SPECIFIC value, just to say: /home (hda4 or hda5)
will have the REMAINING space on hard drive hda, just as you do when
select 1 and grow and then your entire HD is automatically assigned to
your basic / directory?
Appreciate your help and look forward to your answers.
Thank you.
Benjamin
