Hi, Frank. In order to "resize" or delete allocated disk space, you first must delete any partitions that you may have already created on the disk. The you can reallocate the space. You can put Linux swap space onto a real, physical 3390, but I would suggest that you allocate Linux swap spac

Re: Stuck on SLES11 install..

2010-01-07 Thread Dave Jones
Hi, Frank. Well, how to partition the disks and assign them mount points really depends on what you want to do with the Linux guest. However, given that you have 4 3390 DASD available to your guest, you might try something like this: 1) /dev/dasda1 -- "/" 2) /dev/dasdb1 -- /"usr" 3) /dev/das

Hi Frank, When I did the installation I had to specify the mountpoint manually. When you create the root partition, you can specify the root mountpoint ( "/" ). I have no idea why the automatic proposal was impossible. I didn't find it useful to look further into it. Best Regards, Samir Redda

Hi, Frank. Yes, the "no automatic proposal" is normal. Just select the "Change" option and tell the installer script how you want your disk(s) partitioned and where to assign the mount points. Don't forget to allocate a swap disk, as well. Let us know if you run into any other problems. DJ
