I have recently built a fedora 20 system using UEFI. And by and large it seems
to be OK. I took care to allocate enough space on disk to allow for another
system. It's all done on a Lenovo L430 with a 500GB large harddisk. I intent to
use it for testing purposes and the UEFI based system is my first try of this
type of "BIOS".
I was very surprised to see the output from fdisk:
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/sda9 631408640 976773119 164.7G Microsoft basic data
There doesn't seem to be much space left for yet another system :-(
Doing a df -H yields:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 53G 6.8G 44G 14% /
devtmpfs 4.1G 0 4.1G 0% /dev
tmpfs 4.1G 70k 4.1G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs 4.1G 1.2M 4.1G 1% /run
tmpfs 4.1G 0 4.1G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 4.1G 41k 4.1G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda9 174G 1.5G 164G 1% /home
/dev/sda6 500M 99M 371M 21% /boot
/dev/sda5 210M 10M 200M 5% /boot/efi
And here it looks like I have ample space for a second system.
What should I believe and what does Microsoft do on my system?
