磁盘管理器

磁盘管理器是一个用于磁盘分区的创建，删除，和格式化的工具。同时，它不能够移动和编辑已经存在的分区，所以您需要一个未格式化的磁卷（可能是一个USB磁盘或者硬盘）或者利用初始化工具，例如， GParted LiveCD 来提供分区空间。

At the top is a graphical representation of all partitions inside the device chosen in the list below it. Besides a maximum of 4 primary partitions, each of those can contain a number of extended/logical partitions. You may have to expand such a list with the +/- widget that appears in that case in front of that device to see the details of every logical partition.

You can select a partition from the list and mount and unmount them with the commands in the Partition menu or by pressing ALT M or ALT U.

You can also completely delete a partition with Partition | Delete.
Which brings us to this:

创建分区

When you found unformatted space on a drive, like the above <empty>, you can create a new partition in this space with Partition | Create...(ALT C).

You're prompted with this dialog that lets you adjust the partition size and type. Choose Be File System if you want to use the partition for an Haiku installation or if you want to use all the interesting Haiku features with it, like attributes and queries. Note, that other operating systems might not be able to access such a partition.

If you have created a primary partition instead of just another extended/logical partition within one, the above dialog also displays an Active Partition checkbox. You'll have to check that, if you'll use that partition to boot a Haiku installation.

Before you can use, or even mount the newly created partition, it has to be initialized with a filesystem.

格式化分区

Only unmounted partitions can be initialized by using the Partition | Initialize menu.

Here you set the name for the partition and it's blocksize. 2048 bytes per block are recommended, but you can choose larger or smaller sizes if you have these very specific needs.
Initializing will destroy all data on that partition!
