Thanks Forrest!! I took out the "--size 1000 --grow --maxsize 2000" command and just used "--size 2000". Then I only used one --grow command in my ks.cfg. My partitions look much better as they actually use up the space available. By the way, I am using Redhat 7.1.

IMHO disk druid is not great at partitioning using the --grow feature more than once. Which version of Red Hat are you using? You can see the swap file size by doing `fdisk -l` or `fdisk -l /dev/hda` [or sda, hdb, etc.], or even `cat /proc/partitions` Forrest _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
