Entire Disk Installation


The entire disk can be allocated to GhostBSD, when using the Use Entire Disk option it will allocate a root(/) with UFS Journaling softupdates, SU+J and a swap that will equal the system ram. This option will fill the whole disk.

Select the Use Entire Disk option to install GhostBSD on the entire disk selected.

Warning! Make sure to Back up all important data on the target disk where GhostBSD will be installed. The GhostBSD installer will not ask before making changes to the disk, but once the process has started it cannot be undone.
