11. Disk Partitioning Setup
Partitioning allows you to divide your storage drive(s) into isolated sections, where each section
behaves as its own drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run multiple operating systems,
or wish to enforce a logical or functional distinction between your storage partitions (such as a /
home partition that persistently contains user information).
On this screen you can choose to create the default layout or choose to manual partition using
the 'Create custom layout' option of Disk Druid.
The first three options allow you to perform an automated installation without having to partition
your drive(s) yourself. If you do not feel comfortable with partitioning your system, it is recom-
mended that you do not choose to create a custom layout and instead let the installation pro-
gram partition for you.
You can configure an zFCP LUN for installation, or disable a dmraid device from this screen by
clicking on the 'Advanced storage configuration' button. For more information refer to Sec-
tion 12, “ Advanced Storage Options ”.
