Partition Table
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We'll be creating partitions, `/boot`, `/`, `swap`, `/var`, `/usr`, `/tmp` and
`/home`, with one virtual logical volume per mount point.

Having one virtual logical volume per mount point allows VM
software to easily expand the disk and filesystem as required.

----

Select **LVM**

Again, This is to allow the virtual machine software to expand the DEV server
disks more easily.
