FASE 1
cfdisk /dev/sda
label type: gpt
delete all partitions
| Mount point | Partition | Partition type (GUID) | Bootable flag | Suggested size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| /boot | /dev/sdx1 | EFI System Partition | Yes | 260–512 MiB |
| [SWAP] | /dev/sdx2 | Linux swap | No | More than 512 MiB |
| / | /dev/sdx3 | Linux | No | Remainder of the device |
SWAP Recommandations
| Amount of RAM in the system | Recommended swap space | Recommended swap space if allowing for hibernation |
|---|---|---|
| ⩽ 2GB | 2 times the amount of RAM | 3 times the amount of RAM |
| > 2GB – 8GB | Equal to the amount of RAM | 2 times the amount of RAM |
| > 8GB – 64GB | At least 4 GB | 1.5 times the amount of RAM |
| > 64GB | At least 4 GB | Hibernation not recommended |
Resulting for our system in:
sda1 512MB [EFI System]
sda2 2GB [Linux swap]
sda3 Remainder [Linux filesystem]
MAKE NOTE OF THE PARTUUID OF sda3, WE WILL NEED THIS LATER!
