( But I thought it wasn't required? - Duffy 19:33, 14 February 2012 (UTC)) If you don't have a swap device on a system you are upgrading, you need to create one.If your swap device / file is for a really old Linux, make sure to exclude it from the install, otherwise it will be reformated new-style.Your /etc/fstab must be sane / clean and not have syntax errors.Any filesystems you'd like to keep around must have been unmounted cleanly before starting anaconda.(Don't move disks with hibernated OSes to another system, and don't boot off of USB or CDROM when your hard drive has a hibernated OS) Do not run anaconda with any of your other OSes in a hibernated or suspended state.If you are going to be deleting at least one and keeping at least one pre-existing OS, you'll need to do some research before you enter anaconda so you can identify the partitions / disks you need to format without removing OSes you want to keep around.All disks you want to be selectable for installation need to be connected to the system by the time you get to the storage screen.(We should maybe explicitly forbid mixed installs here? - Duffy 18:50, 14 February 2012 (UTC)).You can install to removable media, but it only makes sense to do so if every part of the OS is on that same piece of removable media.The following mountpoints/filesystems must be on a linux fs:.Different filesystems have minimum and maximum size requirements you must meet these requirements for the filesystems you use (here in the code: git anaconda):Ĩ * 1024 * 1024 = 8388608 (~8 TB? What blocksize? 2 KB?)ġ6 * 1024 * 1024 = 16777216 (~16 TB? wikipedia says 16 EiB).If you have a bind-mounted fs or a swap file we can't access, we'll ignore it.Otherwise creating the mountpoint will fail because the 'file' already exists. Any new mountpoints you create must not already have regular files at the same paths on a device.You may create separate mountpoints for:. /usr ( is this for real? it seems some thinking around systemd / /usr move changes concludes this means /usr must be under /, some other folks think it makes /usr more split-upabble - Duffy 19:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)).You may not create a separate mountpoint for any of the following they must reside in /:.The swap device(s) must be intitialized.If they don't, reformatting them will give them one. You don't need a swap device, but we recommend it to improve performance.The filesystem must be the same as the live image's.It must be at least the same size as the live image itself (~600MB typically?) The minimum space requirement may be > 250MB.Load Linux into your non-GRUB bootloader post-install: Windows Vista, Windows 7.Meet this requirement via any of the following: You must have a place we can install a bootloader to, or you need to manually modify a proprietary bootloader to point to your install.Storage Requirements Bootstrapping the OS 3 Other error conditions (these occur much earlier on in the install process).1.1.5 For dual/multi-OS booters and upgraders.
