What is a Partition?
Partitioning is a means to divide a single hard driveinto many logical drives.
A partition is a contiguous set of blocks on a drivethat are treated as an independent disk.
A partition table is an index that relates sections ofthe hard drive to partitions.

Why have multiple partitions?
Reduce the risk of system failure in case a partitionbecomes full. Runaway processes or maniacal userscan consume so much disk space that the operatingsystem no longer has room on the hard drive for its
bookkeeping operations. This will lead to disaster. Bysegregating space, you ensure that things other thanthe operating system die when allocated disk space isexhausted.
Encapsulate your data. Since file system corruption islocal to a partition, you stand to lose only some ofyour data if an accident occurs.

Partition Fields
Device: This field displays the partition's device name.
Start: This field shows the sector on your hard drivewhere the partition begins.
End: This field shows the sector on your hard drive wherethe partition ends.
Size: This field shows the partition's size (in MB).
Type: This field shows the partition's type (for example,ext2, ext3, or vfat).
Mount Point: A mount point is the location within thedirectory hierarchy at which a volume exists; the volume is
"mounted" at this location. This field indicates where thepartition will be mounted.

Filesystem TypesLinux Installation
ext2 An ext2 filesystem supports standard Unix filetypes (regular files, directories, symbolic links, etc). Itprovides the ability to assign long file names, up to 255characters. Versions prior to Red Hat Linux 7.2 used ext2filesystems by default.
ext3
The ext3 filesystem is based on the ext2filesystem and has one main advantage journaling.Using a journaling filesystem reduces time spentrecovering a filesystem after a crash as there is no need tofsck the filesystem.
swap
Swap partitions are used to support virtualmemory. In other words, data is written to a swap partitionwhen there is not enough RAM to store the data yoursystem is processing.vfat The VFAT filesystem is a Linux filesystem that iscompatible with Windows 95/NT long filenames on theFAT filesystem.

Recommended Partitioning
SchemeUnless you have a reason for doing otherwise, it isrecommended that you create the following partitions:
/boot partition contains kernel images and grubconfiguration and commands
/ partition/var partition
/home partition
Any other partition based on application (e.g /usr/local
for squid)swap partition swap partitions are used to supportvirtual memory. In other words, data is written to aswap partition when there is not enough RAM to storethe data your system is processing. The size of your
swap partition should be equal to twice yourcomputer's RAM.
