In this example we use GParted to create a file system for dual boot two versions of Mint Linux on a 500GB harddrive.
After you boot from the Linux Mint installation media click the Linux Mint Menu -> Administration -> GParted
Select the correct drive, in this example unallocated space on /dev/sda (465.76 GiB)
You need only one partition table for the physical disk drive. Device -> Create Partition Table... -> gpt
We create a GPT (GUID Partition Table) rather than MS-DOS for this example.
Partition -> New
Create the following:
- Create Primary Partition #1 (fat32 1024) ends up /dev/sda1 and won't be used but is created if efi doesn't exist and may be needed
- Create Primary Partition #2 (linux-swap, 16,384) end up /dev/sda2
- Create Primary Partition #3 (ext4, 131072 as /) end up /dev/sda3
- Create Primary Partition #4 (ext4, 131072 as /2) end up /dev/sda4
- Create Primary Partition #5 (ext4, remaining space as /share) end up /dev/sda5
