Hi, the numbers for the raid partitions are just used as labels. You can use your own numbering for your convenience. Please make sure that your partition numbers match the raid partition assignment. You next question concerning the swap partition : I can only speak for RH7.2, we don't use RH7.3 yet. RH 7.2 :In the automatically generated anaconda-ks.cfg the swap partition is a raid partition like others. Unfortunately the kickstart/anaconda installer does not accept a "swap" in a raid partition assignment and will fail. For our system, we need swap as a raid partition. Therefore I've done the following workaround : Create two single swap partitions, one on sda and one on sdb w/o raid assignement. In the kickstart post section I figure out weather to use swap as raid or not and configure /etc/raidtab respectively. Don't hesitate to contact me for detailed information Greetings Dirk -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Brian K. Jones [mailto:jonesy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Dienstag, 6.

I have a question though about some of the output in the file that resulted from the install. The part in question is below: #part raid.28 --size=32 --ondisk=sda --asprimary #part raid.44 --size=32 --ondisk=sdb --asprimary #part raid.46 --size=10000 --ondisk=sdb #part raid.29 --size=10000 --ondisk=sda #part raid.42 --size=5824 --grow --ondisk=sda #part raid.49 --size=5820 --ondisk=sdb #part raid.51 --size=1500 --ondisk=sdb #part raid.41 --size=1500 --ondisk=sda #raid swap --fstype swap --level=RAID1 raid.41 raid.51 #raid / --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.29 raid.46 #raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.28 raid.44 #raid /tmp --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.42 raid.49 Where do those numbers come from in "raid.<#>"? If I didn't first do an install from CD, how would I know what numbers to use? Is it recommended to include swap in a raid 1 configuration? Thanks for your input! -- Brian K.
