WARNING: Repartitioning the Running System
The risk of making a mistake that causes data loss is very high. Before modifying
partitions in the installed system, back up your data.
Figure 8.6 The YaST Partitioner
TIP: IBM System z: Device Names
IBM System z recognize only DASD and SCSI hard disks. IDE hard disks are not
supported. This is why these devices appear in the partition table as dasda or
sda for the first recognized device.
All existing or suggested partitions on all connected hard disks are displayed in the list
of the YaST Expert Partitioner dialog. Entire hard disks are listed as devices without
numbers, such as /dev/hda or /dev/sda (or /dev/dasda). Partitions are listed
as parts of these devices, such as /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 (or /dev/dasda1,
respectively). The size, type, file system, and mount point of the hard disks and their
partitions are also displayed. The mount point describes where the partition appears in
the Linux file system tree.
