1. Partitioning the disk on which Arch Linux is installedThis time, use gdisk command in UEFI mode and GPT for the partition table.Check current disk information# lsblkNAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTSloop0 7:0 0 693.5M 1 loop /run/archiso/airootfssda 8:0 0 20G 0 disksr0 11:0 1 813.3M 0 rom /run/archiso/bootmntIn the above case, a 20 GB virtual HDD was created on VmwareWorkstion, so the SIZE of the sda is set to 20 GB.The sda in the NAME line is the name of the device that represents the entire disk and will be partitioned to this sda.This time, create an EFI partition and a partition for Arch Linux, but not a swap partition.In the past, a partition was created for swap and allocated as swap, but now a "swap file" can be used without a swap partition.A "swap file" is a method of creating a single file of any size for swap and using that area as swap, which can be created, deleted, and resized.
