Being new to Python, I have a quick question about how to do this. Specifically, I am attempting to create a --badblock option for the part command. However, our previous 2 attempt have failed. Right, now we do this: elif str == "--badblock": fstab.setBadBlockCheck(1) This is in kickstart.py, around lines 600-630 (if looking at the /usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py installed by anaconda-7.1-5 on RH 7.1). When anaconda tries to execute this dring a kickstart, we get an AttributeError, which I can't find documented anywhere on python.org, but I'd love to make this section of code work more like the other elif statements by setting an appropriate variable, which is tested in another class and the proper setBadBlockCheck call is then made from there. But this code is so densely OO that I can't find the exact section of fstab.py (presumably) where this is handled. Can anyone please provide some guidance/documentation/advice on how to handle this? Thanks in advance! Peace! Claude Johnson Network Scientist Avamar Technologies 949.743.5145 Vox 949.743.5190 Fax www.avamar.com
