- Adding a partition is a two-step process. You first create the partition at a certain
size and specify the mount point. The partition then appears in the left pane, so it is
created before being customized. You then customize it using the options in the right
pane, where you can choose a device type, file system type, a label, and whether to
encrypt the partition. This differs from previous partitioning methods where the partition
was created and customized in the same step.
