Fedora 11 Install || refused to install to DDS 10-created partition

Thread needs solution

Admittedly, this question is not properly within Acronis' purview [i will shortly post it in the Fedora Linux forum: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/]

but i solicit the thoughts of Acronis' denizens.

DDS 10.0 created 7 LOGICAL partitions of 23GB each, into one of which i asked Fedora 11 to install. Fedora 11 completely ignored me and created 2 PRIMARY partitions of its own: a 217.4GB, a 2GB and 2GB unallocated. I will likely delete the installation because i don't want to install at that high addressing in the volume, which circumstance has (i think) caused me severe consternation in the past when i tried to use DDS 10.0 to create additional partitions -- DDS will move EVERYTHING over -- SECTOR-BY-SECTOR ... HOUR-AFTER-HOUR!!!!

so, can someone suggest what went wrong; how can i force fedora to install into a 23GB logical partition that i created for just that purpose? if i can't use DDS-created partitions then why do i need DDS-created partitions?!

btw, what is Acronis' designation "0x8e", appearing in "WhatsThis2"

Hello Neal,

Let me assist you with this situation.

The initial issue with partition alignment and installation of Fedora 11 is caused by Linux, so it's good way to ask on Linux forum. Regarding the product itself - I would recommend you to resize the partitions after Fedora installation, we do not expect any difficulties in this case. But please note that current version of Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0 support the following:

  • Ext2 - is used by Linux operating systems
  • Ext3 - is the next generation of the Ext2 file system
  • LinuxSwap - is used for Linux swap partitions
  • ReiserFS - one of the most secure file systems used on data servers

I'd like to make sure all your queries regarding Acronis products are resolved.
Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.

Regards,
