You??™ll learn more about the fstab file
in the ???Mounting a File System??? section.
The last section is the mount point definition. Use the drop-down menu or type in a
mount point as well.
TIP
If you??™re adding a FAT partition, make /windows/D (or another drive letter) the mount
point.
Click OK to confirm your choices.
Editing a Partition
When you select an existing partition and click Edit, the dialog box is nearly identical to
Figure 18.2. All the options are editable except for the size parameters. You must use the
Resize tool to change that.
Why would you edit a partition? If you want to use the Logical Volume Manager (LVM),
at least one partition must have the type Ox8e or Ox83. You can set that in this dialog
box. You may also want to change the fstab settings for a partition without editing the
file by hand. Or you may want to change the mount point for one reason or another,
especially with a nonroot partition.
Deleting a Partition
There are only two reasons to delete a partition with EP: You??™ve copied off all the data
and want to recover the space for something else entirely, or you have a non-root mount
point that you don??™t want to treat as a separate partition anymore.
