Description Tom Zanussi 2015-01-13 14:55:08 UTC
'wic help kickstart' documents --source and other partition types but doesn't mention empty partitions.
Comment 1 Ed Bartosh 2015-04-17 10:15:50 UTC
Moving to 1.9
Comment 2 Ed Bartosh 2015-06-16 12:05:42 UTC
Added this paragraph to the help text for --source option:
   If --source option is not used, the wic command
   will create empty partition. --size parameter must
   be used to specify size of empty partition.
