7.18. Disk Partitioning Setup

分​区​允​许​你​将​硬​盘​驱​动​器​分​隔​成​独​立​的​区​域​,每​个​区​域​都​如​同​是​一​个​单​独​的​硬​盘​驱​动​器​。​如​果​你​运​行​多​个​操​作​系​统​,分​区​就​特​别​有​用​。​如​果​你​还​不​确​定​怎​样​给​系​统​分​区​,请​阅​读 附录 A, 磁​盘​分​区​简​介​。​
On this screen you can choose to create the default layout or choose to manual partition using the Create custom layout option.
前​面​三​个​选​项​允​许​你​不​必​亲​自​为​驱​动​器​分​区​而​执​行​自​动​安​装​。​如​果​你​对​在​系​统​上​分​区​信​心​不​足​,建​议​你​不​要​选​择​手​工​分​区​,而​是​让​安​装​程​序​自​动​为​你​分​区​。​
你​也​可​以​为​安​装​配​置 iSCSI 目​标​,或​者​在​这​个​屏​幕​上​点​击​「​高​级​存​储​配​置​」​按​钮​来​禁​用 dmraid 设​备​。​详​情​请​参​考 第 7.19 节 “Advanced Storage Options ”。​

Warning

The PackageKit update software downloads updated packages to /var/cache/yum/ by default. If you partition the system manually, and create a separate /var/ partition, be sure to create the partition large enough (3.0 GB or more) to download package updates.

If you choose to create a custom layout, refer to 第 7.21 节 “为​您​的​系​统​分​区​”.

Warning

如​果​你​在​安​装​过​程​的​「​磁​盘​分​区​设​置​」​阶​段​看​到​一​则​和​如​下​相​似​的​消​息​:
"无​法​读 hda 设​备​上​的​分​区​表​。​要​创​建​新​分​区​,分​区​表​必​须​被​初​始​化​这​将​破​坏​这​个​设​备​上​的​所​有​数​据​。​"
you may not have a partition table on that drive or the partition table on the drive may not be recognizable by the partitioning software used in the installation program.
使​用​过 EZ-BIOS 之​类​程​序​的​用​户​可​能​遇​到​过​相​似​的​问​题​,从​而​导​致​了​数​据​丢​失​(假​定​安​装​前​没​有​进​行​备​份​)。​
No matter what type of installation you are performing, backups of the existing data on your systems should always be made.

7.18.1. RAID and Other Disk Devices

7.18.1.1. Hardware RAID

RAID, or Redundant Array of Independent Disks, allows a group, or array, of drives to act as a single device. Configure any RAID functions provided by the mainboard of your computer, or attached controller cards, before you begin the installation process. Each active RAID array appears as one drive within Fedora.
On systems with more than one hard drive you may configure Fedora to operate several of the drives as a Linux RAID array without requiring any additional hardware.

7.18.1.3. FireWire and USB Disks

Some FireWire and USB hard disks may not be recognized by the Fedora installation system. If configuration of these disks at installation time is not vital, disconnect them to avoid any confusion.

Post-installation Usage

You can connect and configure external FireWire and USB hard disks after installation. Most such devices are recognized by the kernel and available for use at that time.
