Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
this is how my disk is divided: |
| 4 |
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes |
| 5 |
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders |
| 6 |
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System |
| 9 |
/dev/hda1 * 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS |
| 10 |
/dev/hda2 1276 4208 23559322+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) |
| 11 |
/dev/hda3 4209 4271 506047+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris |
| 12 |
/dev/hda4 4272 4864 4763272+ 83 Linux |
| 13 |
/dev/hda5 1276 4208 23559291 b W95 FAT32 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Now I want to clean hda1 (which has windows) and mount there /usr and point |
| 16 |
$PORTAGE_TMPDIR there (because my gentoo system, in hda4, run out of space). |
| 17 |
Once I'm doing this, I could split that partition into smaller ones (e.g. to |
| 18 |
create /boot), but hda1 needs to be Extended. So, |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
1. Can /boot be inside an Extended partition? Would probably be place in |
| 21 |
hda6... |
| 22 |
2. In case of not changing my boot config (my doing Q1), will I need to |
| 23 |
re-install my bootloader in MBR anew? Or on other words, will MBR be erased |
| 24 |
when cleaning hda1? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Question extra :) : what tends to be bigger /etc or /usr ? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Thanks, |
