Use entire device for partitioning during installation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We're currently using LVM devices as the disks for Xen VMs. The LVM
volume (say /dev/xenvolumes/vm01_datadisk) will come through in the VM
as a normal disk (say /dev/hdd).

What we'd like to do is have our kickstarts create a filesystem on
/dev/hdd without first creating a /dev/hdd1. I can do this manually
(mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd; mount /dev/hdd /somewhere) after the install but is
there a way for kickstart's partitioning to do this? Alternatively would
it work to try and do it in the %post section in the kickstart?

This would simplify maintenance and backup of our VMs' storage.

Thanks for any suggestions
