How to test

Resize

1. From the Installation Destination spoke, in the Storage Configuration section, select the Custom radio button, then click Done.

4. Click the Update Settings button to save your settings.
5. Click the + button to create a new partition off of the existing partition. Provide a mount point and desired capacity, then click Add Mount Point.
6. Repeat as necessary for additional partitions, or click Done to return to the Anaconda main hub.

Delete

1. From the Installation Destination spoke, in the Storage Configuration section, select the Automatic radio button, then click Done.
2. You should be presented with an "Installation Options" dialog, indicating the amount of disk space that is available for use and available to reclaim.
3. Click the Reclaim Space button.
4. Select a partition, then click the Delete button to delete the partition and reclaim the space.
5. Alternatively, click the Delete All button to delete all existing partitions.
