I thought we had fixed this one; I'll put this back in the 2014 release notes and investigate further. *Partitioning with Small Disks * When using the custom partitioning tool to divide up the hard disk/s be aware that there is a minimum size requirement a root partition that contains the /usr directory of at least 5.0Gb. If the partition is made smaller that this the partition manager will not function correctly. Due to the adoption of *systemd* the use of a separate */usr* partition is no longer possible[1]. It is still permissible to have a separate */usr/local* partition. *Workaround:* If you receive an error message stating that the partition is smaller than the minimum requirement then do not try to resize it as this will fail; instead, use the auto-allocate function which will automatically create a partitioning scheme for you, which you may then delete or change to suit your own requirements. This will clear the error. Best, Colin Close Colin Close QA Team -------- [1] http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-is-broken/
