Storage
Default installation on a single disk, which has only free space on you disk or you reclaimed all the occupied space during installation. Fedora 29 needs at least 20G of free space, so if you select a destination disk, which has less than 20G of space you should delete existing partitions to free up space or let Fedora installer to do default installation asking you to reclaim the disk space. We used the whole disk for the installation.
By default Fedora uses.
- ext4 – file system
- lvm – root and swap partitions
- boot, root and home on separate partitions
