How to Disable FIPS on CentOS
FIPS (the Fully Interactive Partition Splitter) comes pre-installed with all versions of CentOS. It allows splitting hard disk partitions without destroying any of the data. If you do not need FIPS, though, then it is just wasting space on your machine. To disable it, you need to rebuild your CentOS installation without it. This will not affect any of your saved information, but will remove all FIPS components from CentOS.
