3.9.1 Partitioning
In most cases, YaST proposes a reasonable partitioning scheme that can be accepted
without change. YaST can also be used to customize the partitioning. This section de-
scribes the necessary steps.
Partition Types
TIP: IBM System z: Hard Disks
On the IBM System z platforms, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server supports SCSI
hard disks as well as DASDs (direct access storage devices). While SCSI disks
can be partitioned as described below, DASDs can have no more than three
partition entries in their partition tables.
Every hard disk has a partition table with space for four entries. An entry in the partition
table can correspond to a primary partition or an extended partition. Only one extended
partition entry is allowed, however.
