Installation guide

The poweroff option is roughly equivalent to the shutdown -p command.
Note
The poweroff option is highly dependent on the system hardware in use.
Specifically, certain hardware components such as the BIOS, APM (advanced power
management), and ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface) must be able
to interact with the system kernel. Contact your manufacturer for more information on
you system's APM/ACPI abilities.
For other completion methods, refer to the halt, reboot, and shutdown kickstart options.
raid ( o p t io nal)
Assembles a software RAID device. This command is of the form:
raid <mntpoint> --level=<level> --device=<mddevice> <partitions*>
<mntpoint> — Location where the RAID file system is mounted. If it is /, the RAID level
must be 1 unless a boot partition (/boot) is present. If a boot partition is present, the
/boot partition must be level 1 and the root (/) partition can be any of the available
types. The <partitions*> (which denotes that multiple partitions can be listed) lists the
RAID identifiers to add to the RAID array.
--level= — RAID level to use (0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 10).
--device= — Name of the RAID device to use (such as md0 or md1). RAID devices
range from md0 to md15, and each may only be used once.
--bytes-per-inode= — Specifies the size of inodes on the filesystem to be made on
the RAID device. Not all filesystems support this option, so it is silently ignored for those
cases.
--spares= — Specifies the number of spare drives allocated for the RAID array. Spare
drives are used to rebuild the array in case of drive failure.
--fstype= — Sets the file system type for the RAID array. Valid values are xfs, ext2,
ext3, ext4, swap, vfat, and hfs.
--fsoptions= — Specifies a free form string of options to be used when mounting the
filesystem. This string will be copied into the /etc/fstab file of the installed system and
should be enclosed in quotes.
--noformat — Use an existing RAID device and do not format the RAID array.
--useexisting — Use an existing RAID device and reformat it.
--encrypted — Specifies that this RAID device should be encrypted.
--passphrase= — Specifies the passphrase to use when encrypting this RAID device.
Without the above --encrypted option, this option does nothing. If no passphrase is
specified, the default system-wide one is used, or the installer will stop and prompt if
there is no default.
