Why does text mode installation in Red Hat Enterprise Linux do not allow custom partitioning layout ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Is it possible to customise the disk layout of the server during the text mode install?
  • After installation is completed anaconda creates the root partition as /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root and a similar partition for swap.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
