You have to have at least two "part raid.somenumber" lines to create a RAID1, and a "raid" line to define the type of RAID, filesystem type and mountpoint. > I didn't test Fedora, but the documentation for the "raid" command in > both appears to be the same. Have a look at: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-syntax.html (that URL is all one line, your mail client may wrap it). Scroll down to the "part" section and also the "raid" section. For a more advanced example: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-examples.html#sect-kickstart-partitioning-example (again, all one line) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - IGNORE that man behind the keyboard! - - - The Wizard of OS - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
