Hard drives and disk space
Drives and partitions
IRIS PASSCAL prepared laptops all come with a separate partition for user and experiment data that can be accessed at /data
PASSCAL linux laptops (PCs) come with two hard drives. On each drive is a complete, tested installation of Fedora linux and a current version of PASSOFT. Each drive is bootable and provides a redundant system. On each drive space is allocated for data and is RAIDed together as the /data directory accessible from either installation.
If you are having a problem and want to try using the backup installation, start tapping the Escape key after the BIOS has finished loading in order to see the GRUB menu. Then select one of the installations of Fedora to boot into it. If you saved your data in /data, you will still have access when booted from the backup installation.
