Information: Do not forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.
Make sure that the disk label type is set to GPT. After creating the GPT partition
table, use the standard following methods for partitioning and formatting the
partitions.
Creating Partitions

Use the SUSE YaST to partition, format, and configure repositories. If any of the

GPT partition table on each volume. Cisco recommends using the XFS file system
for optimal video recording performance.
