Subject: [9fans] Partitioning the disk
Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2014 23:54:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140401215417.GA2238@thunderclap> (raw)
Hi,
As I cannot force plan 9 to use my sata disk, I've decided to buy a sata to usb convertor.
After compiling the usb tools on 9atom, I can find my disk under /dev/sdU1.0 and now is the time to
prepare the disk partitions in order to install plan 9. Disk which I want to use isn't empty
(it contains some of ext4s and swap) but I want to format the entire disk. In 9atom doc's pages
I've found some example how to initialize the blank disk:
Initialize the blank disk /dev/sdC0/data.
disk/mbr –m /386/mbr /dev/sdC0/data
disk/fdisk –baw /dev/sdC0/data
disk/prep –bw –a^(9fat nvram fossil cache swap) /dev/sdC0/plan9
disk/format –b /386/pbslba –d –r 2 /dev/sdC0/9fat \
/386/9load /386/9pcf /tmp/plan9.ini
And my question is: is it enough to create partitons for plan 9 installation? What sizes would have
9fat, nvram, fossil, cache and swap partitons? What should I do next after partitoning disk in order
to install plan 9 on it?
BTW. If there is any method to compile all the 9atom sources at once(simpler that writting rc script)?
BR,
Szymon
