12.16. Disk Part it ioning Set up
Partitioning allows you to divide your hard drive into isolated sections, where each section behaves
as its own hard drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run multiple operating systems. If you
are not sure how you want your system to be partitioned, read Chapter 26, An Introduction 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 D ru id .
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 recommended that
you do not choose to create a custom layout and instead let the installation program 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 Section 12.17,
“ Advanced Storage Options ” .
