I noticed after installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) last week when I do a fdisk -l that the automatic partitioning might not have done such a good job of partitioning out my 200 GIG HD.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux

Shouldn't there normally be a few more partitions like /swap /usr etc? If so is it possible to manipulate these post install? Or better to go back and re-install and manually do the partitions? Either way I would appreciate any advice on allocating the HD out. There will be no other OS on this drive/machine, just RH.


Also I'm curious why my Hard drives are listed as sda1. These are ATA drives. Just looked at the drive they are the new SATA drives and may be recognized incorrectly.

Thanks
