5. Configuring Software Environment
GPT: not present
Creating new GPT entries.
Command (? for help):
2. Enter n to run the command that creates a new partition.
Command (? for help):n
3. Enter the partition number you want to create.
If you press the Enter key without entering anything, the smallest unused number is allocated. The following
example indicates that the ninth partition is created.
Partition number (1-128, default 9):9
4. Enter the start sector.
The start sector must be aligned at the 2048-sector boundary. If you specify a value less than 2048, the start sector
is set to 2048. If you specify 2048 or greater, the start sector is automatically adjusted so that partitions are aligned
at 2048 boundaries. You can specify the size rather than the sector. To do this, use +xx as the number of sectors
from sector 2048, use -xx as the number of sectors from the end, and add K (kilobytes), M (megabytes), G
(gigabytes), T (terabytes) or P (petabytes) at the end of the numeric value. If you press the Enter key without
entering anything, the sector indicated by default = xxxx is allocated. In the following example, the default of
sector 2048 is selected.
First sector (34-15728606, default = 2048) or {+-}size{KMGTP}:
5. Enter the end sector.
You can specify the size rather than the sector. To do this, use +xx as the number of sectors from the first sector,
use -xx as the number of sectors from the end. If you press the Enter key without entering anything, the sector
indicated by default = xxxx is allocated. In the following example, the default is selected.
Last sector (2048-15728606, default = 15728606) or {+-}size{KMGTP}:
6. Enter the partition type.
Entering L displays a list of partition types.
For the Linux file system, enter 8300. If you press the Enter key without entering anything, the default of 8300
is set. In the following example, the default of 8300 is selected.
Current type is 'Linux filesystem'
Hex code or GUID (L to show codes, Enter = 8300):
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the partitions to be created.
8. Enter w to write the settings to the disk.
Command (? for help):w
Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!
When a confirmation message appears, enter Y to write the settings. If you enter N, the display returns to the state
prior to step 8 without writing the settings.
Do you want to proceed? (Y/N):Y
9. When writing to the disk is complete, the following message appears and then the command ends:
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sda.
The operation has completed successfully.
10. Run the partprobe command to report the change of partitions to the OS.
You do not have to restart the OS because this command makes the OS recognize the partitions.
$ sudo partprobe
