Hi everyone. I have a bunch of systems currently running Redhat 7.1. They are currently partitioned as follows: / /dev/hda1 (3 Gb) Extended partition /dev/hda2 swap /dev/hda5 (2 Gb) /inst /dev/hda6 (rest of disk) /local/stage1 /dev/hdb1 (all disk) /local/stage2 /dev/hdd1 (all disk) My kickstart file currently looks like this: clearpart --drives hda part / --fstype ext3 --size 3000 --ondisk hda part swap --size 2000 --ondisk hda part /inst --size 1000 --grow --ondisk hda part /local/stage1 --fstype ext3 --noformat --onpart hdb1 part /local/stage2 --fstype ext3 --noformat --onpart hdd1 --------------------------------------------------- I get the error message in this case that partitions hdb1 and hdd1 can't be found. If I take any clearpart statement out, and instead use the old partitioning exactly as it is, e.g. part / --fstype ext3 --onpart hda1 part swap --size 2000 --onpart hda5 part /inst --fstype ext3 --onpart hda6 part /local/stage1 --noformat --onpart hdb1 part /local/stage2 --noformat --onpart hdd1 Then it works fine. Is there a bug in the clearpart command? If we do clearpart --drives hda, shouldn't we be able to put any partition structure on there we want?
