I have  a doubt on this page http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/creating-a-linux-image.html which talks about creating a linux image. The thing that I can’t understand is that the first line talks about creating a linux image of size 5G, but this allocation of 5G is done from which partition of our disk. Can anyone help me with this ??

Udit:

I assume you are talking about this command: kvm-img create -f raw server.img 5G

That will create a file called "server.img" in the current directory where you issued the command. 

Take care,
