Primary partition : There can be up to four.

Extended partition :

There can be up to 1 of them.

2.4 Partition of partition device file name and mount

Partition Device file name:

/DEV/HDA1 (IDE hard drive Interface)

/DEV/SDA1 (SCSI hard drive interface, SATA hard drive interface)

The partition represents:

Logical partitions must start at 5, and 1 to 4 are for the primary partition or for the extended partition.

4. Mounting

A mount point can be understood as a drive letter in Windows. But instead of Cdef, take the catalogue as a disk.

must be partitioned :

/(Root partition)

Swap partition (swap partition, memory twice times, no more than 2GB) (similar to virtual memory)

Recommended Partitions :

/boot (boot partition, 200MB) it is best to partition boot separately to avoid the system not booting because the disk has no space.
