Hard drive preparation

This topic includes information regarding partitioning the hard disk.

Partitions

When partitioning the hard disk, be advised that D3 uses raw disk partitions or logical volumes to store data.

  • DO NOT create a file system on these partitions.
  • DO NOT make them mountable.
  • DO NOT place them in the /etc/fstab file.

Set up the hard disk with one or more partitions or logical volumes with no file system created on them for D3.
