I have these same setups and have been using linux over a decade. Yet I am old and near getting senile sometimes haha, so I come here and instantly remember WHY I have all these setup the same way :)
I love your videos Joe. I been saving your videos in One Note. I want to build my own Linux system. Since SSD's are much cheaper, going all ssd is an option.
Thank you for the video! Usually I do a partition like this. 1: \ 2: \media\save 3: swap I never do a home partition because I normally change my username and I don't like to have hold .configfolders . I like new starts! :) But I think that one day I will try a new partitions table. I also never had the idea to put the swap in the middle thats clever! But next time I will do a swap file. Again I learn new things! And thank you about the file fragmentation :)
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Wells Memphis I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I used to work on Windows machines and the last straw was one I spent six hours on trying to get the malware off of. I only got &75 for that job and I said enough was enough after that. I no longer do Windows at all. :)
This has been very very helpful to me. I plan to use Xubuntu (18.04 LTS), a flavor of Ubuntu, so will it have the Ubuntu 17.04 setup with a swap file and no partition? And thanks so much for the discussion on file fragmentation, as well as how Windows works with its virtual memory. After looking at the title of this video, turns out I have very little to worry about. haha
I would like to hear more about MBR and GPT partition tables. Which one should we use? Should we disable EFI in our bios before install or not, to ensure compatibility with all linux distributions, or is that a thing of the past? I would also like to hear more about the difference between physical partitions, logical partitions and extended partitions.
swap files is yes a great idea, however is a good idea still to, especially if you do have multiple SSD's USB 3.0 at least as well if enclosure. as well as external ones. use one for swap, use another for var i like doing that. I like to reduce multiple writes on one specific SSD if boot make that a focus, then if log aka /var again go to another, and make sure you have trim set up correctly.
on my Windows machines when I was running all mechanical hard drives I would put the swap file at the beginning of the 2nd hard drive and I would make it a fixed size. I would turn off the swap on the C partition. I did that for a long time and it seemed to work just fine. Now that I am using an SSD boot drive I have put the swap back on C and let Windows manage it. I really don't know if keeping the swap on the 2nd hard drive, the mechanical one, would slow things down. I have 32GB of RAM so I'm not sure how much swap I even use with Windows 10. And I don't know if having the swap on the SSD boot drive creates more wear and tear on it. On my Linux box running ArcoLinux I let the installer do its thing. That also has 32GB of RAM. Seems to be running fine with the default settings. Thanks for another excellent video!
Your partitioning lessons helped me a lot. I've been distro hopping a lot testing distros on live hardware without losing my home folder. Thanks. The only issue I encountered was when I distro hopped from Solus to Linux Lite. XFCE on Linux Lite reverted to the ugly stock theme. It wont.load the Linux Lite dedault theme. I also tried Installing Manjaro XFCE and on login XFCE reverted to the ugly stock look. Weird. The only solution is to wipe the drive and repartition again.
Ok .. your channel, your rules! :D I use LVM for managing my data disks and I really love the snapshot feature. It saved my ass after an ArchLinux update. Now I use rsync for backups the most time. But I think encrypted drives are pretty important nowadays, especially for notebooks.
Nope. As long as you don't ever hibernate the machine 2 GB is plenty but you don't want to eliminate it altogether because some programs use it and it will keep your system from crashing hard if some program goes crazy and starts eating up lots of RAM. :)
Thanks. I've found out that I'll probably need to install as UEFI as I run a hackintosh that uses EFI ? It's a gigabyte motherboard that's says dual bios? My main question is as I've got a new SSD for Linux install that's 500gb how would you partition it? Make 2 partitions and install Kubuntu on one with the other for another distro later? I plan to use it as my main driver for my first Linux adventure on real hardware to work on as well doing graphics and photography editing etc I've been trrying different distros in virtual box and I like KDE so taken your advice to go with the solid base of Ubuntu 18.04 with KDE. Cheers
Better with one partition. Why? The purpose of your file manager is to manage space efficiently. Breaking the disk into multiple partitions is telling the file manager it can't do its job, essentially establishing "no go" areas.
I have a server with RAID 1 256GB SSD's, 256GB of memory as well. My drive is not big enough for a recommended size swap partition lol. It's probably not needed but I created one at 16GB just in case. I did / and /swap partitions since I wasn't sure how much space to set aside for / and /home. Considering the drive size I dind't want to have much unused space in either partition so it was best to just create one big partition.
There are two things I've had trouble figuring out how to do well in Linux, and that's automated backups and file encryption. All of the backup utilities I've tried either don't deliver what they promise (I believe it was deja-dup that told me the backups would be incremental, yet I could see a dozen copies of the same, unmodified file in the backup location), or they backup into some odd proprietary or obfuscated format that you can't browse with your file manager. Getting the backups to work with drives that aren't connected 24/7 is even harder. Articles I've found on encryption advertise old, no-longer-supported applications. Could you make some videos on these topics?
+1 for automated backups. I'm currently using Grsync for backing up, but it doesn't offer a schedule function. I'm thinking about using Grsync to get the rsync command line command and put that to a crontab job. But having a nice GUI is always nice and less error-prone.
i tried to install Parrot GNU/Linux (Debian distro) and when i make the partitions it does not allow me to continue due to a vfat failed partition. i have a swap , an ext4 and an efi volume but i cant continue. any ideas?
Humm maybe it is time for me to do just that have one big partition with a SWAP partition of 2GB since I have 12GB pf physical memory in my laptop because it would be a lot easier and faster installing the distro plus I do use SDD drivers 120GB and 250GB therefore no need to defrag at all and since I have no big files on it and I do not do audio or video editing at all then this is the method to go with so for that I thank you Joe :)
You just using a custom mode not UEFI mode, and things are about to get get rather interesting with AMD releasing RYZEN 4,8,16 CPU core processors as well as the 7nm AMD RYZEN STARSHIP processor with 48 CPU cores, is UBUNTU 16.04 UBUNTU-BSD ?
I use OpenSuse with BTRFS and my laptop doesn't have battery, so it shuts down daily due to cable disconnecting. Guess what? I've never had issues with my system with boot, unlike what usually happened with EXT4.
Dear Joe, Please help me, I bought FEENG 10TB External Hard Drive,Portable SSD Drive,Solid State External Hard Drives, now cannot format because show me the error: Error wiping device: Faled to probe the device '/dev/sdh'(udisks-error-quark, 0)
Small question for you, Joe. I foolishly jumped into LVM a couple of years ago and now have some logical volumes with data I need but cannot seem to mount. Any suggestions or links to extract my info?
I was playing with GNU/Linux in 1993. I was using dial-up modem still so it was download 1.44 meg floppy image file at 1 hour per. I think I ended up with 32 disks. The ext4 was being discussed and tested, and some brave users were using the ext3. Heck, I've forgotten a lot of what I knew. I even had to adapt and tweak my Orchid video drivers to get the resolution I wanted. Now I'm studying all the stuff again. I wonder if I can find my Nextstep install disk somewhere?
It depends on a lot of things. If the computer has more than 8 GB of ram, it probably won't use swap very much anyway. You can set aside a 3 GB partition for it and that will be just fine. :)
Thsank you...I think I ued the wrong term...I meant to say...jump drive. Thy are very cheap. His would free a mechanical hard dik. I could use a hub to set off to the side. A 32 gig jump drive cos me a whopping $10. iIf it goes bad...I buy another one. Thi would lso reduce the writes o SSD's...xtning th life of a much mor expensive drive. I want to kno how the installation mnger will deal witj jump drives...what designation can I expct at Mint installaion? What about a hub as a device? And it would be great if you would do a video on peripheral devices...how to detect and intall things like a router, switch, hub, etc. But for the moment, I jut want to know your opinion on using jump drive as a swap dvice instead of an SSD or mechanical hard disk and exactly how you would do it on he disk paritioner in the Mint intaller. Assume I have a singl 1 teribyte mechnical hrd disk nd one 32 gig jump drive. How to format both and put boot, oot and home on the mechanical drive and sawap on the jump drive. what happens if I need to replace the jump div with. new one? I it an easy swap out PNP or do I have to configuer a new 32 gig stick...assume I use Ext4 on the jump drive unless you firmly believe it would be wise to use another file system for the jump drive. Hank you again.
You don't have to worry too much about your SSD. They are robust enough to deal with a little swapping every now and then. Much better then they used to be. :)
I messed up in this trying to install Linux mint alongside windows 10, there was no space and the Linux os did not detect the other OS while trying to install it, I ended up erasing everything and I'm blocked out of the bios, really stuck now
Ein Google Nutzer yes, in my ignorance, I though that was a lock of some sort, I used an 8 gb sd card on a lenovo laptop, with 30 gb of space with win 10 hogging more than 20gb, no space!
Compatibility, mainly. Booting a GPT drive requires a UEFI firmware. If you have an old BIOS machine, it will not be able to boot from a GPT drive. However, even then, some bootloaders manage to finagle something. Basically, if you have a UEFI machine, or you aren't booting from the drive, just use GPT. That's the simplest thing.
why are we not talking about ZFS here?? I know it's more than a partition scheme, but it still *feels* relevant to the topic... additionally... couldn't something libre/coreboot be made to do the check on a xfs boot partition before mounting? if there was space on the chip for said utilities etc.. I mean, there are no restrictions on having a chip with say 64MB instead of an 8 or 16MB chip as long as the right dat is there initially. That's what I've seen in the mod community at least. I'm old-school lol I use ext2 for my boot partition with an MBR scheme. God bless EFI lol
When ZFS is a drop down menu option at install then I'll jump to it for sure. Right now it's an involved install for Linux. You can have XFS checked at boot time but that's soothing that has to be built into the kernel. Most Linux distributions do not have it enabled. :)
But, is it best to put the swapfile on a separate drive from the primary drive? What I mean is I have a netbook I’m experimenting with. It has only 32GB primary drive space and 2GB of RAM. I expanded the hard drive space by adding a 128GB microSD.
@@Inca.Arellano You can put it anywhere... You can also add swap to the system by creating a swapfile. It's a very versatile way of dealing with it. Feel free to experiment. :)
Thanks Joe! So I’m also confused about formatting the microSD. When I format it with ext4 I then can’t write to that partition. I guess I wanted to be able to write the swapfile to that microSD and assumed that using ext4 would be better. Again I’m totally new to Linux. Thanks for your patience and support.
Great videos and I'm on a refresher course. It's amazing how much a fella forgets over the years and thanks!
Yes, I have had a long running Linux system. I ran the command and had like 4 files fragmented. The tool said I do not need to defrag. Awesome.
I have these same setups and have been using linux over a decade. Yet I am old and near getting senile sometimes haha, so I come here and instantly remember WHY I have all these setup the same way :)
Finally I found a video that helped me. Thanks

From newbee perspective your video tut are great. Thanks and keep your work on.:)
Thank you Joe; You my friend are the man...
Another great video! I really would like to see a ZRam vs ZSwap in the upcoming videos. Thanks!
Love your videos! Definitely have a radio voice.

@Wells Memphis it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Santino Zechariah you are welcome xD
The main reason I hang on to swap partitions are for memory dumps that I can then provide to devs if required.
Why would a flash drive not allow formatting with ext3 or ext4?
Thank you Joe,
Thanks for the video. A suggestion: Make 3 videos, one on each subject, instead of one long.
Your VM performance must be pretty awesome if you're "boasting" about it. 😁
Great video! Thank you.
Fine tutorial Joe, answered a few of my nagging questions.
Thanks. Glad it helped. :)

FYI, xfs was created by SGI (Silicon Graphics inc.) I was not aware that it was available on Linux. I used it on IRIX for many years.
Under your organization scheme, my "/vm" partition is the whole size of my DASD.
I would like to hear more about MBR and GPT partition tables. Which one should we use? Should we disable EFI in our bios before install or not, to ensure compatibility with all linux distributions, or is that a thing of the past?

Swapfiles are much better and easier to manage compared to an entire partition.
Hi Joe, will there be some more advanced stuff like partition schemes with encrypted drives and/or lvm? Thanks for the good work, like your stuff!
I don't see a whole lot of benefit in LVM for the average Desktop user and so I'm not going to bother with it anytime soon. :)
Ok .. your channel, your rules! :D I use LVM for managing my data disks and I really love the snapshot feature. It saved my ass after an ArchLinux update. Now I use rsync for backups the most time.
But I think encrypted drives are pretty important nowadays, especially for notebooks.
I've never seen my swap area being used. It always displays "used: 0". Do I really need to reserve 13 GB of good disk space for... nothing?
Nope. As long as you don't ever hibernate the machine 2 GB is plenty but you don't want to eliminate it altogether because some programs use it and it will keep your system from crashing hard if some program goes crazy and starts eating up lots of RAM. :)
Good then, thanks. My current swap area is 4GB, I already skimmed a little, as I have 12GB memory.
I love the icons on your launcher, I want those, how do I get those?

No big deal, but you changed RM to RAM, so maybe you should change munux to linux.
If you look in the description you will see that I did.
Creating a swap partition on desktop computers larger than 16GB RAM is pointless.
SimpleFS is BestFS.
