Trying to follow the example and adjusting for LVM doesn't work for me. With these kickstart commands, bootloader --driveorder=sda --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda clearpart --none --initlabel part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --onpart=sda part pv.01 --noformat --onpart=sda volgroup vg_test1 pv.01 --noformat logvol /home --noformat --name=lv_home --vgname=vg_test1 logvol / --useexisting --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_test1 logvol swap --useexisting --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_test1 installation fails with the message, "Members may not be specified for preexisting volgroup". I'm not sure to what "members" refers in that message. If I change the volgroup line to omit "pv.01", installation fails saying, 'Volume group "vg_test1" given in volgroup command does not exist.' If "members" means the logvol lines, then where can I specify noformat for /home? (And checking /dev/mapper via TTY2 shows that the volgroup does exist, though it wasn't activated.) -- Dave Close _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
