17.11. Disk Part it ioning Set up
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 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 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 Section 17.12,
“ Advanced Storage Options ” .
