Installation guide

/<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 recommended maximum swap size for machines with less than 2GB of RAM is
twice the amount of RAM. For machines with 2GB or more, this recommendation
changes to 2GB plus the amount of RAM.
raid.<id>
The partition is used for software RAID (refer to raid).
pv.<id>
The partition is used for LVM (refer to logvol).
Note
You can assign any value to the <id> field, but ensure these values are
consistent across volumes and volume groups. The default value for the first
volume is 01.
--size= — The minimum partition size in megabytes. Specify an integer value here
such as 500. Do not append the number with MB.
--grow — Tells the partition to grow to fill available space (if any), or up to the
maximum size setting.
Note
If you use --grow= without setting --maxsize= on a swap partition, An aco n d a
will limit the maximum size of the swap partition. For systems that have less than
2GB of physical memory, the imposed limit is twice the amount of physical
memory. For systems with more than 2GB, the imposed limit is the size of physical
memory plus 2GB.
--maxsize= — The maximum partition size in megabytes when the partition is set to
grow. Specify an integer value here, and do not append the number with MB.
--noformat — Tells the installation program not to format the partition, for use with the
--onpart command.
--onpart= or --usepart= — Put the partition on the already existing device. For
