16.12. Creating partitions on RAID by using the web console

Procedure

1. Log in to the RHEL 10 web console.
2. In the panel, click Storage.
3. Click the RAID device on which you want to create a partition.
4. On the RAID device page, scroll to the GPT partitions section and click the menu button [⋮].
5. Click Create partition and enter a name for the file system in the Create partition field. Do not use spaces in the name.
6. In the Mount Point field, enter the mount path.
7. In the Type drop-down list, select the type of file system.
8. In the Size slider, set the size of the partition.
9. Optional: Select Overwrite existing data with zeros, if the disk includes any sensitive data and you want to overwrite them. Otherwise the RHEL web console rewrites only the disk header.
10. In the Encryption drop-down menu, select the type of encryption. If you do not want to encrypt the volume, select No encryption.
11. In the At boot drop-down menu, select when you want to mount the volume.

12. In the Mount options section:

    1. If you want to mount the volume as a read-only logical volume, select the Mount read only checkbox.
    2. If you want to change the default mount option, select the Custom mount options checkbox and add the mount options.

13. Create the partition:

    • If you want to create and mount the partition, click the Create and mount button.

    • If you want to only create the partition, click the Create only button.

      Formatting can take several minutes depending on the volume size and which formatting options are selected.
