Subject: lvm, creation of physical volumes
Hello kickstart mailing list,
my questions regards the creation of physical volumes via lvm.
I specified the following disk layout in my kickstart file:
26 clearpart --all --drives cciss/c0d0 --initlabel
27
28 part /boot --size 100 --ondisk
cciss/c0d0 --fstype ext3
29 part / --size 7168 --ondisk
cciss/c0d0 --fstype ext3
30 part swap --size 2048 --ondisk
cciss/c0d0 --fstype swap
31 part pv.00 --size 1024 --ondisk
cciss/c0d0 --fstype ext3 --grow
This works well and will successfully create the following partition
table:
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 73.3 GB, 73372631040 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8920 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 *
512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 14 927 7341705 83 Linux
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3 928 1188 2096482+ 82 Linux
swap
/dev/cciss/c0d0p4 1189 8920 62107290 5 Extended
/dev/cciss/c0d0p5 1189 8920 62107258+ 8e Linux
LVM
So far so good. But then there is no physical volume created. The output
of 'pvs' and 'lvmdiskscan' shows me nothing about my lv.
Hi Jan,
As Greg Caetano showed, you need to define at least one logical
volume. Here's an excerpt from my ks.cfg file, which successfully sets
up LVM using three physical HDDs. You'll get the picture:
zerombr yes
clearpart --all
## Note: 255GB FS size limit in LVM
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 --asprimary --ondisk=sda
part pv.00 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sda
part pv.01 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sdb
part pv.02 --size 1 --grow --ondisk=sdc
volgroup vg00 pv.00 pv.01 pv.02
logvol / --fstype ext3 --vgname=vg00 --size=9000 --name=lroot
logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --vgname=vg00 --size=50000 --name=ltmp
logvol /vol0 --fstype ext3 --vgname=vg00 --size=100000 --name=lvol0
logvol /vol1 --fstype ext3 --vgname=vg00 --size=100000 --name=lvol1
logvol swap --vgname=vg00 --size=32768 --name=lswap
