Disk Partitioning Schemes for Parallels Pro Control Panel

If the capacity of the hard disk is greater than 40 GB or if the number of hard disks exceed one, the following partitions can be used:

• / = 5 GB
• /boot = 101 MB
• swap = 1 GB and above or multiple swap partitions
• /var = at least 5 GB
• /home = largest

If the target server has only one hard disk, you can opt for the above partitioning scheme on the same disk. However, if the target server has more than one hard disk (for example, two), the above scheme can be spread across the two disks as follows:

First disk (40 GB):

• / = <remaining disk space>
• /boot = 101 MB
• swap = 1024 MB
• /var = 20 GB
• /tmp = 2 GB

Second disk (40 GB):

• swap = 1024 MB

/home = <remaining disk space>
