Trying to setup linux on lenovo laptop. I find that its gpt as expected and there are some 5 partitions (as shown by compmgmt in windows)
| recovery | 1G | | EFI | 260M | | OEM | 1G | | Windows8 (C:) | 424G | | Lenovo (D:) | 25G | | Recovery | 14G | Clearly its the windows (C:) that needs to be shrunk for the linux. Q.1 In the past (mbr) Ive invaribly found that adding a partition in the middle causes all sorts of trouble. How is it with gpt? Q.2 There are some stories that modern disks need stricter alignment restrictions than the classic 512 byte block eg http://askubuntu.com/questions/314262/partition-alignment-confusion Whats the current 'best-practice' for optimal alignment of partitions? [Given that windows seems to be more uptodate than parted on this I am assuming that making all partitions in windows and then installing linux should be foolproof. However its a bit of a headache jumping between windows and linux ] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
