I think george is looking for a date when he made the partitions.. I just look at the data on the partitions to see when they were made, and I've always been able to figure out what was what... if I were doing something odd or needed partition creation data, I would just add it.. an info.txt right on the root of the device that I could add what I want to so I could be sure what is what... someone mentioned "careful planning"... I think that is a great idea. Map out what you want and keep your data backed up for if something goes wrong during a resize, or when the drive fails... > > > Mike Holstein <[email protected]> schrieb: > > >On Feb 6, 2013 7:42 AM, "George DiceGeorge" <[email protected]> > >wrote: > >> > >> is there a datestamp on partitions in gparted, > >> or any other way of deciding which swap goes with which other > >partition, > >> the only identifier i have so far is size. > >> > >> Nautilus doesnt seem to see the swap partitions so i cant see what > >goes > >with what. > >> > > > >I just look at the data on the partitions... > > > >> [george] > >> > >> > >> From: David King > >> Sent: Wednesday, 06 February, 2013 11:44 > >> To: [email protected] > >> Subject: Re: which partition is which? > >> > >> > >> On 05/02/13 23:20, George DiceGeorge wrote: > >>> > >>> After installing UbuntuStudio > >>> I was looking at partitions with Nautilus and gparted > >>> and deleting old partitions of swap disks etc > >>> but I deleted something wrong > >>> and it wouldnt boot > >>> so i reinstalled UbuntuStudio. > >>> > >>> Is there any way of seeing the dates of partitions, > >>> or figuring some other way what's what? > >>> [george] > >>> > >> > >> > >> Before installing systems onto a PC, I draw out a map of the hard > >disks, > >and decide what partitions to set up and what will go where. > >> > >> For example, I might decide to put Ubuntu Studio in sda1, Mint in > >sda5, > >home in sda6, swap in another partition, etc. It also helps to make > >each > >partition a different size. > >> > >> Once something is installed, I use gparted to label each partition so > >I > >know what's what. > >> > >> If you install something without remembering what is what, then mount > >everything, examine the contents, and then label each partition in > >gparted. > >> > >> > >> > >> David K > >> > >> ________________________________ > >> -- > >> Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > >> [email protected] > >> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > >https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users > >> > >> > >> -- > >> Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > >> [email protected] > >> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > >https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users > >> > > > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > >-- > >Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > >[email protected] > >Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > >https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users > > -- > Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android-Mobiltelefon mit K-9 Mail gesendet. > > -- > Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
