## PART  <mountpoint/lvm>  <filesystem/VG>  <size in MB>
##
## * <mountpoint/lvm> mountpoint for this filesystem  *OR*  keyword 'lvm'
##                    to use this PART as volume group (VG) for LVM
## * <filesystem/VG>  can be ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, swap  *OR*  name
##                    of the LVM volume group (VG), if this PART is a VG
## * <size>           you can use the keyword 'all' to assign all the
##                    remaining space of the drive to the *last* partition.
##                    you can use M/G/T for unit specification in MIB/GIB/TIB
##
## notes:
##   - extended partitions are created automatically
##   - '/boot' cannot be on a xfs filesystem!
##   - '/boot' cannot be on LVM!
##   - when using software RAID 0, you need a '/boot' partition
