Let's put all our notes on MacBookPro here so we can share them.
Partitioning
MBP comes with preinstalled OSX on the whole disk. I made some notes on partitioning:
| Partition | Minimal size | Recommended size | File system | Notes | Leopard | 9G | 30-40G | HFS+ | I have an external USB disk 30GB, which is used to backup OSX | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| swap | 4G | 4G | swap | swap is used for linux, and must be as large as RAM amount for use with suspend | ||||||
| WinXP | 2G | 10G | NTFS | Useful to test software | ||||||
| WinVista | 10G | 20G | NTFS | Useful to test software | ||||||
| Ubuntu 8.10 | 8G | ext3 | ||||||||
| Ubuntu 9.04 | 8G | ext3 | testing | |||||||
| 8G | ext3 | /home | jfs | cannot shrink | share | NTFS |
Multiple booting
Booting multiple system on Mac can be tricky. The easiest way seems to use refit.
