Figure 3.16: Host and Domain Conﬁguration

Only entire hard disks can be used. Individual partitions cannot be conﬁg-

ured. In our example, the hard disk is the master on the second IDE bus.

Therefore, hdc is entered as the device.

A swap space serves to store data from the main memory temporarily on the

hard disk, if this is required. 128M is used in our example.

Since an IDE hard disk is being used, it makes sense to activate DMA. This

must be supported both by the hard disk and by the hard disk controller.

This is irrelevant for SCSI hard disks or RAID arrays.
