This is not a logical way! I can see *some* logic in doing it in the reverse order (what do you want, how do you want it, where will it go), but I'd still prefer the direction of select hardware, divide it up, allocate mounts. Either way, I think the process has to go continually in the same direction. The one thing that makes some sense out of doing it backwards, is that you not having to continually name things. Doing it backwards, if I wanted /boot, /, and /home, it could name (label) the partitions boot, sysroot and home, name the volume group Fedora25, et cetera, automatically, as it goes along. Doing it forwards, I'd pick a drive, partition it, name its volume groups by hand (if using LVM), name its partition labels by hand, allocate mount points. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
