Greetings,
I have been noticing a problem with anaconda when repeatedly
installing a server with a disk configuration involving LVM. Anaconda
will fail because it cannot create the volume group VolumeGroup00.
After looking at the disk, it is clear why - the volume group still
exists. To get around this I wrote a simple %pre script that destroys
all PGs, VGs, and LVs it knows about. A copy of that script may be
found at the bottom of this email. Is this the correct solution, or
should Anaconda be handling this? I have verified this behavior on
RHEL 4u2, and CentOS 4u4.
Doesn't clearpart work?
Just to re-iterate what Greg said, nope. My posted Kickstart script
uses clearpart, and that does not solve the problem.
