Why? Because a lot of machines have already been built with a simple 2 drive mirror and now are adding additional storage. For example: I have a called partitions.cfg that contains something like this: # Raid 1 IDE config part raid.11 --size 1000 --asprimary --ondrive=sda part raid.12 --size 1000 --asprimary --ondrive=sda part raid.13 --size 2000 --asprimary --ondrive=sda part raid.14 --size 8000 --ondrive=sda part raid.15 --size 1 --grow --ondrive=sda part raid.21 --size 1000 --asprimary --ondrive=sdc part raid.22 --size 1000 --asprimary --ondrive=sdc part raid.23 --size 2000 --asprimary --ondrive=sdc part raid.24 --size 8000 --ondrive=sdc part raid.25 --size 1 --grow --ondrive=sdc # You can add --spares=x raid /opt --fstype ext3 --device md0 --level=RAID1 raid.11 raid.21 raid /safe --fstype ext3 --device md1 --level=RAID1 raid.12 raid.22 raid swap --fstype swap --device md2 --level=RAID1 raid.13 raid.23 raid /usr --fstype ext3 --device md3 --level=RAID1 raid.14 raid.24 raid pv.01 --fstype ext3 --device md4 --level=RAID1 raid.15 raid.25 # LVM configuration so that we can resize /var and /usr/local later volgroup sysvg pv.01 logvol /var --vgname=sysvg --size=8000 --name=var logvol /var/freespace --vgname=sysvg --size=8000 --name=freespacetouse logvol /usr/local --vgname=sysvg --size=1 --grow --name=usrlocal Now I go and run anconda using this file as input .. It then parses out the file, creates the partitions, sets up the raid and the logvols. > > > > > > > > James S.
