part or partition (required for installs, ignored for upgrades)

Creates a partition on the system.

If more than one Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation exists on the system on different par-

titions, the installation program prompts the user and asks which installation to upgrade.

Warning

All partitions created are formatted as part of the installation process unless -

-noformat and --onpart are used.

For a detailed example of part in action, refer to Section 4.1, “Advanced Partitioning Ex-

ample”.

The <mntpoint> is where the partition is mounted and must be of one of the following forms:

• /<path>

For example, /, /usr, /home

• swap

The partition is used as swap space.

To determine the size of the swap partition automatically, use the --recommended option:

swap --recommended

The minimum size of the automatically-generated swap partition is no smaller than the

amount of RAM in the system and no larger than twice the amount of RAM in the sys-

tem.
