Partition Question

[Asia]

Hello,

I am installing RH 7.1, and I need a partition for /usr/local

At Fdisk during installation...

/ 1GB
<Swap> 256MB
/usr/local 33+GB


After the installation, I unmount /usr/local (my /usr/local partition).

umount /usr/local

OK...I unmounted /usr/local

At @localhost / ] , I typed "cd /usr/local", it came up ( @localhost /local ].

I thought I unmount /usr/local.


I am planning to install PLESK, and it recommend having a separate partition for "/usr/local". Since I have 33+GB for /usr/local parition, I only have 1GB for "/". If PLESK doesn't recognize "/usr/local" partition, will it install in "/usr/local" in "/" root which has only 1GB?

It might be a case of the information being presented to you in a strange manner.

use "df -H" to check on the current partition mounts. That will answer your questions.

Check your /etc/fstab file to see how the /usr/local partition is being mounted. It's probably being mounted to /usr/local of your / partition. If thats the case then you're OK to install, as long as you have /usr/local mounted it will install on the partition /usr/local not the mount point /usr/local.
