I am using livemedia-creator on F17 to create a disk image. I manually
select the partitioning scheme in the kickstart:
clearpart --all
part /boot --size 255 --fstype ext3 --label=boot
part swap --size 511
part / --size 3327 --fstype ext4 --label=rootfs
Previously I created several disk images and they all had the partitions
in the following order:
1 - /boot
2 - swap
3 - / (root)
I created another disk image today, but the partitions are now in the
following order:
1 - /boot
2 - / (root)
3 - swap
The reason this is significant is that after installing the disk image
onto physical media I want to be able to resize the root partition
('/'), and that is only practical if it is the last partition on the image.
So my question is, what determines the order of the partitions on a disk
image, and is there a way to select, or guarantee a specific order?
We intentionally do not provide any way to try to ensure ordering of
partitions. However, for your simple case you can achieve what you want
by passing --asprimary as an argument to /boot and swap, but not root.
That should be enough to cause it to be allocated last.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
Out of curiosity, is there a simple explanation for why it 'sometimes'
puts swap before root, but not other times. /boot always appears to get
the first partition (understandably), but I'm not clear on the partition
selection logic for swap and root.
Thank you,
