Select this option to add a partition or LVM physical volume to the disk. In the Add partition dialog, choose a mount point and a partition type. If you have more than one disk on the system, choose which disks the partition may inhabit. Indicate a size in megabytes for the partition.

	Some Partitions Not Allowed
	The /bin, /dev, /etc, /lib, /proc, /root, and /sbin directories may not be used for separate partitions in Disk Druid. These directories reside on the / (root) partition.

	Root and /root
	The / (or "root") partition is the top of the file system. The /root (sometimes pronounced "slash-root") directory is the home directory of the administrator.

You may also choose from three options for sizing your partition:

	Partition sizes
	The actual partition on the disk may be slightly smaller or larger than your choice. Disk geometry issues cause this effect, not an error or bug.

After you enter the details for your partition, select OK to continue.

Select this option to edit an existing partition, LVM volume group, or a LVM physical volume that is not yet part of a volume group. To change the size of a LVM physical volume partition, first remove it from any volume groups.

	Removing LVM Physical Volumes
	If you remove a LVM physical volume from a volume group, you will erase any logical volumes it contains.

Edit a partition to change its size, mount point, or file system type. Use this function to:

	Windows Partitions
	You may not label Windows partitions that use the NTFS file system with a mount point in the Fedora Core installer. You may label vfat (FAT-16 or FAT-32) partitions with a mount point.

If you need to make drastic changes to your partition configuration, you may want to delete partitions and start over. If your disk contains data that you need to keep, back it up before you edit any partitions. If you edit the size of a partition, you may lose all data on it.

If your system contains many separate partitions for system and user data, it is easier to upgrade your system. The installation program allows you to erase or retain data on specific partitions. If your user data is on a separate /home partition, you may retain that data while erasing system partitions such as /boot.

Select this option to erase an existing partition or LVM physical volume. To delete a LVM physical volume, first delete any volume groups of which that physical volume is a member.

If you make a mistake, use the Reset option to abandon all the changes you have made.

Select this option to force Disk Druid to abandon all changes made to disk partitions.

Select this button to set up software RAID on your Fedora system.

Select this button to set up LVM on your Fedora system. First create at least one partition or software RAID device as a LVM physical volume, using the Add option in the main Disk Druid dialog.

	Understanding LVM Components
	In LVM, one or more physical volumes are combined to form a volume group. Each volume group's total storage may be apportioned for one or more logical volumes. Logical volumes function much like standard data partitions. They have a file system type, such as ext3, and a mount point. An administrator can grow or shrink logical volumes without destroying data, unlike standard disk partitions.

To assign one or more physical volumes to a volume group, first name the volume group. Then select the physical volumes to be used in the volume group. Finally, create and/or edit logical volumes on any volume groups using the Add, Edit and Delete options.

You may not remove a physical volume from a volume group if doing so would leave insufficient space for that group's logical volumes. Take, for example, a volume group made up of two 5 GB LVM physical volume partitions, which contains an 8 GB logical volume. The installer would not allow you to remove either of the component physical volumes, since that would leave only 5 GB in the group for an 8 GB logical volume. If you reduce the total size of any logical volumes appropriately, you may then remove a physical volume from the volume group.
