A BigZombieDrive uses up to six partitions. Not all partitions
are required. A plain ZombieDrive needs only three (Root, Keep
and maybe Swap).
The following table gives recommended sizes. Some are variable
depending on your needs.
This table shows particular partition number choices. The
partition numbers themselves are arbitrary, their roles are not.
The assignment of partition numbers to roles is done by the install
invocation which for this table could be:
For a BigZombieDrive with an msdos partition table:
Or with an EFI partition table:
| # | Role | Type | Recommended Size | Notes |
|---|
| 1 | Root | primary | 28 GB | Basis rsync target plus LiveSlak ISO (3.9 GB) plus /packages headroom |
| 2 | Keep | primary | 3 GB minimum | Variable; grow as needed for persistence and configuration snapshots |
| 3 | Swap | primary | 1–2 GB | |
| 4 | Extended / EFI | extended / EFI System | remainder / 512 MB | msdos table: extended container, not referenced in install invocation. EFI table: install formats this partition as an EFI System Partition. |
| 5 | Ring (SAM) | logical / primary | 1 MB | Holds the SAM installation; 1 MB minimum for clean alignment |
| 6 | Pinkie (Slackware ISO) | logical / primary | 4.5 GB | Holds the Slackware 15.0 install DVD ISO (3.9 GB) |
