Which ever partitioning scheme has been chosen, this is not set in stone. It is possible to use a partition editing utility to resize partitions (subject to sufficient free space in each partition), however this is quite an advanced topic, and generally nto done while the system is in use.

Whilst it is possible to change the disk partitioning layout after the system has been installed, it is important to make backups before making any changes to the partitions.

Si bien es posible cambiar el diseño de las particiones de disco después de que el sistema ha sido instalado, es importante hacer copias de seguridad antes de hacer cualquier cambio a las particiones.

Partitioning a disk is only the beginning. Once the disk has been divided up, those partitions need to be formatted so that the operating system can place files on the disk in a structured manner. There are many different filesystem types, each with their own advantages. With Microsoft Windows the two main filesystems are FAT (File Allocation Table) and NTFS (New Technology File System). With Ubuntu there are many options including ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs and many others. The Ubuntu installer chooses ext3 by default, but of course it is possible to override this.

ext3 is a great general purpose journalling filesystem. It handles most tasks well however, xfs is sometimes chosen instead on media-centre systems as it performs better when handling very large files - such as music and video files.

A mount point is a place in the directory hierarchy where a filesystem could be presented. There is no real Microsoft Windows equivalent to this. With Microsoft Windows the partitions C:, D: and so on, are seen as entirely separate entities so the operating system, applications and data is often referred to by a user as being "on the C: drive" or "in a folder on the D: drive".

"Mount" is the term used when referring to a filesystem being made available for access. CD and DVDs are usually automatically mounted when they are inserted. The same goes for USB connected devices such as memory sticks, hard disks and music players.

On Ubuntu, files and folders reside within a partition as they do with Microsoft Windows. However the partition is not normally referenced directly by the user. The user would typically say that files are "in my home directory" (when referring to /home/< username>), or "in the root directory" (when referring to / ) without specifying which partition on the disk those directories reside in.
