Finally making the partition

2.4 Creating a new partition

GParted manual

I read the entire manual and printed out the needed instructions.

GParted Live USB

1. Shrunk sda2 to 182.82 GiB, approximately 195 GB.

    Note: GiBs are apparently not MiB x 1000

    2. From 54.61 GiB unallocated space, created sda3 27.3 GiB

    3. Left the rest unallocated, about 27.3 GiB

    Reportedly Linux doesn’t read bootable flags, so I didn’t set a flag.

    Looked at the partitions

    lsblk
    sda1 1 G part /boot/efi
    sda2 182.8 G part /
    sda3 27.3 G part /media/heidi/LFS

    Also: – T is type and h is human readable

    df -Th

    Also – Disks app in Utilities on the GUI

    Questions

    Why is sda3 mounted in media? Did it mount automatically?
