I've partitioned disk as gentoo handbook suggested (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Default_partitioning_scheme), and ended-up with the following setup:
| Code: | $> parted -l
Model: ATA ST1000LM035-1RK1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 3146kB 2097kB grub boot, esp
2 3146kB 423MB 419MB fat32 boot
3 423MB 8811MB 8389MB linux-swap(v1) swap
4 8811MB 210GB 201GB ext4 rootfs
5 210GB 252GB 41,9GB ext4 ubu
6 252GB 1000GB 749GB ext4 storage
|
The /dev/sda1 is not mounted, /dev/sda2 on /boot, /dev/sda3 is swap, and /dev/sda4 is gentoo system mounted on /. Everything works fine.
Now, I would like to install the second system (ubuntu) on /dev/sda5. The problem is that when I run ubuntu graphical installer (from live-usb) I get a message

The vfat is fat32 so does it mean that /dev/sda1 should be formatted as fat32? But it is only 2 MB, so it cannot be done. How do I correct this to be able to install ubu?

Thanks for quick replay.
So you mean I need to change this flag? I had to misunderstood something in the handbook. Why does my system works correctly with wrong settings? And if I change this flag to /dev/sda2 do I still need /dev/sda1 at all? It is empty partition without any flags, without filesystem and not mounted anywhere... |
