Hello all! I am creating a %pre script to setup the partition schemes dynamically for various drive sizes. I want to be able to specify the exact partitions to be used for the mount points, I don't want kickstart to have its way :-) For example: clearpart --all --initlabel part swap --size 1000 --onpart sda1 part / --fstype ext3 --size 1000 --onpart sda2 part /var --fstype ext3 --size 5000 --onpart sda3 part /usr --fstype ext3 --size 5000 --onpart sda5 part /home --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --onpart sda6 As far as I can tell, you cannot use the --onpart option except when the partitions already exist, kickstart will not create these for you. And because I am clearpart'ing the partitions anyway there is no way the partitions will exist, nor would I want to set them up ahead of time. Short of some ugly expect-style hacking of fdisk is there any way to do what I want?
