Disk Partition Information
Would you like to partition device xyO into "n
H
equal sized clients! (y/n): n
Partitions tor disk xyO - 40880K bytes tree
Do you want the public partition on this disk unit! (y In): y
Enter the pub partition size (nnnM or nnnK)
-minimum is 17408K
- detault is 20480K: 17M
Partition size rounded to 17472K.
Throughout this phase, .etup declares the amount ot free space on your disk and lists any allo-
cated partitions before asking you to alter the partitioning in any way. You are asked to
declare partition sizes in K Bytes or M Bytes, and .etup takes care of rounding your partitions
to cylinder boundaries for performance reasons. You can always type 'RETURN' as a response
to a sizing prompt to get the default partitioning.
The next step in partitioning is to allocate client / u.r and paging areas (which need not be on
the same disk, although each client must have both). If you want to 'reserve' space tor future
users, allocate "other" partitions of appropriate size:
Partitions for disk xyO .. 23408K bytes free
1)
public: 17472K
Do you want to add or edit a partition! (y/n/l):
y
Enter the partition type (user/swap/other): user
Enter the user partition size (nnnM or nnnK)
- minimum is 4096K
- detault is 6144K: 8M
Partition size rounded to 8288K.
Enter the name ot the client: bl.ise
Continue this process until you have finished partitioning your first disk. Setup then allocates
any remaining disk space to "other", and asks you to verity your work. If something has gone
wrong, you can edit a partition by responding with its number when you are prompted for
adding or editing. Both size and type fields can
be
changed. Our final screen might look some-
thing like this:
Partitions for disk xyO - OK bytes free
1)
public~
17472K
2) blaise's user: 6272K
3)
blaise's swap: 4256K
4) albert's user: 6272K
5) albert's
sw~p:
4256K
6) other: 2352K
Is this partitioning correct! (y In):
y
This completes partitioning for the first disk. It you have another controller, you are asked for
its type, and the number ot devices attached to it at this time, and are then asked to repeat the
partitioning process for each disk. When all disks have been partitioned, and the configuration
has been validated, .etup asks for network information for each of your specified clients and
