Text Installation Partitioning. Perhaps the most intricate part of the Ubuntu Text installation process is based on manual partitioning. When you get to that point during the Text mode installation, you'll see this menu. The LVM shown in this menu is associated with Logical volume management, the concept beyond what I can explain in this video. If you're unfamiliar with logical volume management, please review it on your own. In general, if you select one of the guided partitioning options, the Ubuntu installer, depending on the labels shown here will either use the entire disk, or in some cases you'll see an option to use the available free space. Once it uses its own algorithm to create partitions, you'll see a confirmation screen similar to that shown here. Alternatively, if you select manual partitioning, you're presented with a menu similar to that shown here. You'll want to configure partitions for your directories rate of raise or logical volumes in available free space. For the purpose of this video, I've already created a couple of swap partitions. So to complete this process, I'll need to create partitions in this 8.2 gigabytes of available free space. When you select the free space, you're prompted to select a size of the partition as shown here. You're prompted to configure it as a primary or logical partition and in another screen not shown, at the beginning or at the end of the drive. Then you can configure how the partition will be formatted, mounted, and more. The partition settings menu here is quite detailed and versatile. The Use as option is associated with file format, the default for Ubuntu Linux and many other standard Linux systems is the third extended file system, also known as X3. Other format options are available such as X2, even Microsoft Speedfan, you can select Use as to set up this partition as a logical volume, a member of a write array or as dedicated swap space. If you haven't already done so, and I did as shown a moment ago, you'll want at least one partition for swap space. The Mount point is the directory you'll want to use for that partition. I've set this up on the top level directory as indicated by the single forward /. This option does not exist naturally if you've set up this partition as swap space, as a logical volume, or as a member of a write array. Next, the mount options, they're associated with how the partition will be mounted. These are the options you see in the etc/FS tab configuration file. Next, the label, it's used on some distributions. It's a common option on Red Hat distributions, but it's not commonly used on Ubuntu Linux. Reserved blocks, this is reserved space for the top level root administrative user. Typical usage, options in this section can customize blocks for different kinds of files. The bootiful flag is commonly associated with partitions which contain the Boot directory. These are the basic options for partitioning. During the Text mode installation process, for the Ubuntu installer, I urge you to look through these options in more detail. As an understanding, a full understanding of these options may be fair game here in the exam.
