What is a mount point? What do I tell Disk Druid?
A mount point is the place in the directory tree to which a
device is grafted. In unix, there are no drive letters - instead,
Unix uses a unified directory tree. For a partition to be
accessible, the partition must be mounted into this directory tree.
The place it gets mounted is known as the mount point.
Redhat's disk druid hard disc partitioning programme needs to
know the mount point of each partition it creates, in order to
create /etc/fstab later in the install process. You must
have at least one partition /, also known as the root
volume or root partition (not to be confused with /root, the user
root's home directory!)
See the section on disc
partitioning on other possible partitioning schemes.
