15. Disk Partitioning Setup
Partitioning allows you to divide your hard drive into isolated sections, where each section be-
haves as its own hard drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run multiple operating sys-
tems. If you are not sure how you want your system to be partitioned, read Chapter 25, An Intro-
duction to Disk Partitions for more 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 iSCSI target 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 16, “ Advanced Storage Options ”.
