Hi All,
I just read through the Linux Partition HowTo, but I must have missed something. I have a 40GB IDE drive that I would like to partition multiple times instead of using the basic swap, boot, rest-of-drive scheme. After reading the documentation, I thought that I would try to partition it with partitions for: BOOT, SWAP, /, VAR, USR, TMP, and HOME. I tried numerous permutations of using Primary and Logical partitions, but after initializing the SWAP and / partition, I always get Mount Failed: Invalid Argument messages for the rest of the partitions. I am doing the partitioning with cfdisk. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck:
SWAP = Primary, All Others = Logical
SWAP = Primary, / = Primary, All Others = Logical
SWAP = Primary, / = Primary, /boot = Primary, All Others = Logical
Obviously, I am not grasping a very key concept here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jon D. Irish
