I am trying to finish off a kickstart file for a computer lab on CentOS 6.5 machines. I don't want to have a separate /home as I'm going to add an entry in fstab for it to nfs mount /home from a server. Is there a way to have it autopart the rest of the file system without /home? Wanting to keep autopart for size since not all hard drives across the labs are the same.

A directory for /home will always exist on root file system (whether you have the homedir data stored locally or on a separate partition). Unless you create a user account (other than root), /home will not have any directories beneath it. -- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //

That way the partition will use the rest of the available disk space. Regards, Dennis
