new install on dual boot pc

Hi All,
i’m new user of Open Suse. I downloaded the 13.2 version and i would like install it on my notebook dell vostro 1510 (Ram 4 GB)
I have one hd, the size in 250gb.
It has two partition, one is 80 gb size (win10) and another one is 130 gb, plus another one of swap (size 8 GB)
I have installed win10 in primary partition (size 80gb).
In the other partition (extended) i have ubuntu.
If win10 installation is recent, now i want delete ubuntu and install opensuse 13.2.

My trouble is about partitioning hd to install open suse.

Which is the best solution for my hd?

Is it ok:
sda1 80 gb windows ntfs (no modified)

sda2 extension
sda3 / (size of 20GB proposed from opensuse)
sda4 /home (size of 80Gb proposed from opensuse)
sda5 /swap (size 2GB proposed from opensuse)

Another question is about filesystem.
I’ve used ext4 on ubuntu, and i don’t know btrfs opensuse native filesystem
Is it ok to format all the partitions in btrfs?

Thnaks in advance.

Best thing is to create free space. If I understand you correctly, there are two partitions there, you do not want to use anymore: the Ubuntu one and the swap one. Remove those partitions and then there is free space enough. The installer will see the free space and offer you a partitioning proposal. You can then still decide if you simply want to follow that proposal, or chance it. When in doubt at that point during the installation, abort (until then nothing hasbeen done to your disk) and ask here for further advice.

You can use ext4, With BTRFS the min root partition is about 40 gig to allow space for the new snapper function which takes snapshots of the file system. It is recommended that you have a separate home partition the default is XFS but you can specify ext4

Thanks for responding.

Ok, i’ll erase the ubuntu and swap partitions from windows 10 and then i’ll try to install opensuse 13.2 with proposal partitions.

It is useful formatting all partitions with ext4, not btrs.
Is it ok?

thanks.

It is OK to use ext4. It is stable and used by many foralready some time. It used to be the default.

Btrfs serves many, but it has some tricks one should know of (like the snapshots).

In general it is a question of personal taste.

I have been using “ext4” and it has been working fine. I decided that I’m not ready for “btrfs”.
