Hello all

I'm usually installing my systems with Software RAID 1 and have up to
now specified the hard drives to be used by their device names (/dev/hda
etc...), ie
part raid.01 --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=hda
--size=10000

Is there a way to create the RAID without specifying --ondisk?
There will always be two disks on these systems, but not necessarily in
the same position each time.


It's not pretty, but you can do this...

%include /tmp/kspart

%pre --interpreter /usr/bin/python
import os
import sys
import parted
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/anaconda')
import isys

drives = isys.hardDriveDict().keys()
drives.sort()

f = open("/tmp/kspart","w")

f.write( "part raid.01 --ondisk=%s\n" % drives[0] );
f.write( "part raid.02 --ondisk=%s\n" % drives[1] );

f.close()
