5447 The current Wic implementation supports
5448 only the basic kickstart partitioning commands:
5449 <filename>partition</filename> (or <filename>part</filename>
5450 for short) and <filename>bootloader</filename>.
5451 <note>
5452 Future updates will implement more commands and options.

5459 The following is a list of the commands, their syntax,
5460 and meanings.
5461 The commands are based on the Fedora
5462 kickstart versions but with modifications to
5463 reflect Wic capabilities.
5464 You can see the original documentation for those commands
5465 at the following links:

5477 <title>Command: part or partition</title>
5478
5479 <para>
5480 Either of these commands create a partition on the system
5481 and use the following syntax:
5482 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
5483 part [<replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>]
5484 partition [<replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>]
5485 </literallayout>
5486 If you do not provide
5487 <replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>, Wic creates a
5488 partition but does not mount it.
5489 </para>
5490
5491 <para>
5492 The
5493 <filename><replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable></filename>
5494 is where the partition will be mounted and must be of
5495 one of the following forms:

5506 </para>
5507
5508 <para>
5509 Specifying a <replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable> causes
5510 the partition to automatically be mounted.
5511 Wic achieves this by adding entries to the filesystem
5512 table (fstab) during image generation.
5513 In order for wic to generate a valid fstab, you must
5514 also provide one of the <filename>--ondrive</filename>,
5515 <filename>--ondisk</filename>, or
5516 <filename>--use-uuid</filename> partition options as
5517 part of the command.
5518 Here is an example using "/" as the mountpoint.
5519 The command uses "--ondisk" to force the partition onto
5520 the <filename>sdb</filename> disk:
5521 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
5522 part / --source rootfs --ondisk sdb --fstype=ext3 --label platform --align 1024

5541 This option is a

5544 the partition.
5545 The most common value for this option is
5546 "rootfs", but you can use any value that maps to
5547 a valid source plug-in.
5548 For information on the source plug-ins, see the

5559 or the equivalent rootfs derived from the

46 Either of these commands create a partition on the system and use
47 the following syntax:
48 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
49 part [<replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>]
50 partition [<replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable>]

72 <para>
73 Specifying a <replaceable>mntpoint</replaceable> causes the
74 partition to automatically be mounted.
75 Wic achieves this by adding entries to the filesystem table (fstab)
76 during image generation.
77 In order for wic to generate a valid fstab, you must also provide
78 one of the <filename>--ondrive</filename>,
79 <filename>--ondisk</filename>, or
80 <filename>--use-uuid</filename> partition options as part of the
81 command.
82 Here is an example using "/" as the mountpoint.
83 The command uses "--ondisk" to force the partition onto the
84 <filename>sdb</filename> disk:
85 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
86 part / --source rootfs --ondisk sdb --fstype=ext3 --label platform --align 1024

94 <itemizedlist>
95 <listitem><para>
96 <emphasis><filename>--size</filename>:</emphasis>
97 The minimum partition size in MBytes.
98 Specify an integer value such as 500.

103 <listitem><para>
104 <emphasis><filename>--source</filename>:</emphasis>
105 This option is a Wic-specific option that names the source
106 of the data that populates the partition.
107 The most common value for this option is "rootfs", but you
108 can use any value that maps to a valid source plug-in.
109 For information on the source plug-ins, see the
110 "<link linkend='wic-plug-ins-interface'>Wic Plug-Ins Interface</link>"

115 the contents of the root filesystem pointed to by the
116 <filename>-r</filename> command-line option or the
117 equivalent rootfs derived from the <filename>-e</filename>
118 command-line option.
119 The filesystem type used to create the partition is driven
120 by the value of the <filename>--fstype</filename> option
121 specified for the partition.
