        If a <mountpoint> is not specified the partition will be created
        but will not be mounted.
 
+       Partitions with a <mountpoint> specified will be automatically mounted.
+       This is achieved by wic adding entries to the fstab during image

        The following are supported 'part' options:
 
          --size: The minimum partition size. Specify an integer value
