CENTOX 7 LIVE STREAMING RELAX

The following is a brief description of the types of equipment, and how they are used:

Standard: Standard partition partition may include a file system or swap space, also can provide a container for the software, RAID and LVM physical volume.

Logical volume (LVM): create a LVM partition to automatically generate an LVM logical volume. LVM can be used in the physical disk, improve performance.

LVM streamline configuration: the use of thin provisioning, you can manage free space, called the simplified pool, it can according to need by the application, can be allocated to the storage pool any number of devices. The distribution of memory space required for cost-effective, thin cell can be dynamically extended.

BTRFS: Btrfs is a feature of several devices with the same file system. It can deal with and manage multiple files, large files and the volume ratio of ext2, ext3 and ext4 file system.

Software RAID: create two or more than two software RAID partition allows you to create a RAID device. A RAID partition is assigned to each disk on the system.

The file system(File system ): In the drop-down menu, select the corresponding file system type to the partition of the. Check the adjacent Format dialog box formatting existing partitions, or select it, to keep your data.

The following is a brief description of the file system, and how they are used:

XFS: XFS is a file system supports up to 16 exabytes (about 160000 TB) in a highly scalable, high performance file system, the file up to 8 exabytes (about 8000000 terabytes), and directory structure containing tens of millions of entries. XFS supports metadata log, which is conducive to faster crash recovery. The XFS file system can also be defragmented and adjustment, also install and activate. The file system is selected by default, and strongly recommended. The maximum size of a XFS partition support for 500 TB.

EXT4: The ext4 file system is based on the ext3 file system, and incorporates a number of improvements. These measures include the larger file system and larger files, disk space, there is no limit to the number of sub directory in the file system, check the speed faster and faster, more efficient allocation of support, more powerful logging.

EXT3: The ext3 file system is based on the EXT2 file system, it has a major advantage. Use the file system to reduce the time spent in recovery file after a system crash, because the file system consistency is not necessary to run the fsck utility through every time a collision occurs to check the metadata.

EXT2: The EXT2 file system supports the standard Unix file types, including ordinary file, directory or symbolic links. It also provides dispatch long file names, maximum 255 characters ability.

VFAT: The VFAT file system is the Linux file system and FAT file system on Microsoft Windows compatible long file name.

swap: The swap partition is used to support virtual memory. In other words, when data is written to the swap partition does not have enough memory to store your data being processed by the system of.

BIOS boot: The need for a GUID partition table (GPT) in BIOS boot devices in a very small partition.

The EFI system partition: the need for a GUID partition table (GPT) in the UEFI system boot device a small partition.

Click the "update" button to save the changes and select customize other partition. Please note, changes will not be applied until you really start, from the installation summary page to install. Click the "reset all" button to give up all modified all partitions and start again.

(3)EstablishLVMLogical volume(Create LVM Logical Volume)

Logical volume management (LVM) describes the physical storage space at the bottom, such as a hard drive or LUN a simple logic view. In the physical storage partition is represented as a physical volume, can be combined into a volume group. Each volume group can be divided into multiple logical volumes, each of which is similar to the standard disk partition. Therefore, LVM logical volumes as spanning multiple physical disk partition.

Tips: Note that LVM configuration is only available in graphical installation program. Installed in text mode, the LVM configuration is not available. If you need to start from scratch to create a LVM configuration, press Ctrl + Alt+ F2 to use a different virtual console, and run the LVM command. To return to the text mode setup, press CTRL + ALT + F1.

A partition of at least CentOS installation, but CentOS suggests that there are at least four: /boot, /home, swap, /. You can also create you need additional partition.

1, Establish/boot

Partition mounted in the /boot contains the operating system kernel, which allows the system to your CentOS file, and use in the system boot process. Because most of the firmware of the restrictions, to create a smaller partition to save these suggestions. In most cases, a 500 MB boot partition is enough.

First create a specific partitioning scheme of the mount point. The choice of the mount point will appear in the left pane of the drop-down menu"LVM".

Use the "+" button at the bottom of each panel mount point. Add a mount point new dialog box, and then open the. Both the choice of paths or input /boot preset from the drop-down menu in the mounting point. Then enter the partition size, the use of ordinary size unit 500M. Click "add the mount point" button to create partition.

2, Establish/

This is the "/", or root directory, is located in. The root directory is the top-level directory structure. By default, all of the files will be written to the partition, unless the installation path written in a different partition (for example, /boot or /home). Although the root partition is 5GB, you can install a minimal installation, suggest at least the allocation of 10GB, so that it can be fully installed, select all the package group.

Tips: Don't confuse / directory under the /root directory. The /root directory is the main directory of root users. The /root directory is sometimes referred to as the distinction between slash root apart from the root directory.

Use the "+" button at the bottom of each panel mount point. Add a mount point new dialog box, and then open the. Both the choice of default from the mounting point of the drop-down menu path or input /. Then enter the partition size, the use of ordinary size unit 8GB. Click "add the mount point" button to create partition.

3, Establish/home

Apart from the user data storage system data, create a special partition volume group within the /home directory. This partition should be based on the amount of data to be stored in the local, such as the size of the number of users. This will enable you to upgrade or re install CentOS, but does not delete the user data files.

Use the "+" button at the bottom of each panel mount point. Add a mount point new dialog box, and then open the. Both the choice of paths or input /home preset from the drop-down menu in the mounting point. Then enter the partition size, the use of ordinary size unit 10GB. Click "add the mount point" button to create partition.

4, Establishswap

Exchange partition support virtual memory; data to be written to the swap partition when there is not enough memory to the data being processed by the system to store your. Exchange capability is the workload of system memory, rather than the entire system memory function, and therefore is not equal to the total amount of memory system. Therefore, the analysis of system will run which application and load these applications will serve to identify the system memory, the workload is very important.

Use the "+" button at the bottom of each panel mount point. Add a mount point new dialog box, and then open the. Both the choice of paths or input swap preset from the drop-down menu in the mounting point. Then enter the partition size, residual capacity. Click "add the mount point" button to create partition.

When has been created and customized for all file system and the mount point, click "finish" button. If any encryption file system you choose, you will be prompted to create a password. Then, a dialog box appears, showing all storage related operations, the installer will take. This includes creating, resize or delete partition and file system. You can see all of the changes, and then click "cancel and return to the custom partition" back. To confirm the abstract, click "accept the change", return to the installation summary page. Any other equipment partition in the installation, select them, back to the manual partitioning screen, and in this section the same process.

13.ROOTPassword(Root Password)

Set the root account and password is an important step in the installation process. Root account (also known as the super user) to install the software package, to upgrade the RPM packet, and execute the maintenance of most of the system. The system can complete control of your root account. For this reason, the root account best only used to perform system maintenance or management.

14.Create user(User Account)

Create a common during installation (non root) user account, click schedule screen user settings. Create user screen, allows you to set up a user account, and the configuration of its parameters. Although the proposed ban in the installation process, this step is optional, can be carried out after the installation is complete.

15.The installation is complete(Installation Complete)

Click the restart button, reboot the system and start using CentOS. Remember to remove the installation media, if it will automatically restart does not pop up.
