#Before you proceed with creating partitions, let's see the partitions that we need to create for our host computer:<ul><li>Primary Partitions (ext4):<ul><li>'''30GB''' for '''/''' (i.e. "root")</li><li>'''40GB''' for /home</li><li>'''100GB''' for '''/var/lib/libvirt/images''' </li></ul> </li><li>Swap Partition:<ul><li>'''16GB''' (Note: "swap" must be selected from the drop down menu)</li></ul></li></ul><br>'''NOTE:''' Remember that the sizes are recorded in MB (eg. 30 GB = 30000 MB) and you should multiply GB by a factor of 1024 to get the correct size.<br> (eg. '''30 GB x 1024 = 30720 MB''')<br><br>
#We will now create the root (/) partition. '''Click on the add button (plus) sign'''.<br>
#In the '''Add a New Mount Point''' screen, enter select '''/''' as the mount-point (either by typing or selecting from drop-down menu), and enter '''30720''' in for partition size and click '''Add Mount Point''' button.
#Repeat the same steps above for the '''/home''' partition and '''/var/lib/libvirt/images''' partition. You need to type the ''/var/lib/libvirt/images'' partition since it does not appear in the drop-down menu.
#Select each of the created partitions, and make certain that the file-system type is changed from '''xfs''' to '''ext4'''.
