Creating Standard Partitions
     __________________________________________________________

   Standard partitions are the most common type of partition, with
   the widest support across operating systems. For example,
   Microsoft Windows uses exclusively physical partitions and can
   not natively work with LVM or Btrfs. Most Fedora partitioning
   setups will also require at least one standard partition for
   the /boot directory, and possibly also another standard
   partition with the BIOS Boot or EFI System file system to store
   the boot loader.

   See the full Fedora Installation Guide, available at
   http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ for additional information about
   the concepts behind physical partitions.

   Follow the procedure below to create mount points on standard
   physical partitions:

   Procedure 1. Creating Standard Partitions
    1. Click the + button at the bottom of the list showing
       existing mount points. A new dialog window will open.
    2. In the new dialog window, specify a mount point for which
       you want to create a separate mount point - for example, /.
       Optionally, specify a size for the partition using standard
       units such as MB or GB (for example, 50GB). Then, click Add
       mount point to add the mount point and return to the main
       partitioning screen.

Note
       When creating a swap partition, specify the mount point as
       swap. For a BIOS Boot partition, use biosboot. For an EFI
       System Partition, use /boot/efi.
       For information about these partition types, see
       Recommended Partitioning Scheme.
    3. The mount point has now been created using the default
       settings, which means it has been created as an LVM logical
       volume. Select the newly created mount point in the left
       pane to configure it further, and convert it to a physical
       partition by changing the Device Type option to Standard
       Partition. Then, click Update Settings in the bottom right
       corner of the screen.
    4. In the Device(s) section on the right side of the screen,
       you can see that the partition has been assigned to one or
       more hard drives. Click the Modify button to configure on
       which drive this partition will be created.
    5. In the Configure Mount Point dialog, you can specify which
       physical devices (disks) this volume may reside on. You can
       select one or more disks which will be used to hold this
       volume by holding down Ctrl and clicking each disk in the
       list. If you select multiple disks here, Anaconda will
       determine where exactly the partition should be created
       based on how you configured the rest of the installation.
       If you want to make sure that this partition is placed on a
       specific hard drive, select only that drive and unselect
       all others.
       After you finish configuring the partition's location,
       click Save to return to the main Manual Partitioning
       screen.
    6. Configure other settings specific to the partition - its
       Mount Point, Desired Capacity, and File System. Press
       Update Settings to apply any changes to the configuration.

   Repeat this procedure for any additional standard partitions
   you want to create.
