The recommendation is also to leave unassigned free space in the disk and not assign all the space
available in order to be able to expand any existing file system more quickly.
If all the free disk space is assigned then you will need to shrink one existing file system to expand
another which will consume more time than just leaving unassigned space free.
Since Linux only supports 4 Primary Partitions per disk , you will need to define and Extended Partition in
case you only have 1 hard drive raid on the server and if are willing to setup the optional file system
/usr/sap. In case you have more than 1 hard drive raid then this will not be needed.
If the /usr/sap is not created take into consideration that all the binary files will consume /(root) space.
Meaning if for any reason HANA writes a large file into that directory you could end up by not having
space left in the root partition, so it is highly recommended to create it.
Another possibility is to group the /usr/sap and the /saplogs under the same path meaning leaving the
default path for the logs which is /usr/sap/<SID>/global/hdb/log and not mounting the partition 4 for
the /saplogs.
