Hi All,
Ran into what I believe is a bug. It looks to be in the %pre section.
Background:
Running CentOS release 5 with cobbler 0.5.2. I have a kickstart file for
installing RHEL 4.5 (see below).
I have a %pre section in the kickstart file that defines partitions:
# Magically figure out how to partition this thing
%include /tmp/partinfo
%pre
# Determine how many drives we have
set $(list-harddrives)
let numd=$#/2
d1=$1 # This is the device of disk 1
d2=$3 # This is the device of disk 2, etc.
S1=$2 # This is the size of disk 1
S2=$4 # This is the size of disk 2, etc.
# This would be a partition scheme for two or more drives
if [ $numd -ge 2 ]; then cat << EOF >> /tmp/partinfo
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=$d1 --asprimary
part /boot2 --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=$d2 --asprimary
part swap --size=512 --ondisk=$d1 --asprimary
part swap --size=512 --ondisk=$d2 --asprimary
part raid.01 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=$d1
part raid.02 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=$d2
raid pv.01 --fstype "physical volume (LVM)" --level=RAID1 --device=md0
raid.01 raid.02
volgroup internal_hd pv.01
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=slash --vgname=internal_hd --size=1 --grow
EOF
else
cat << EOF >> /tmp/partinfo
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=$d1 --asprimary
part swap --size=1024 --ondisk=$d1 --asprimary
part pv.01 --fstype "physical volume (LVM)" --size=1 --grow --ondisk=$d1
volgroup internal_hd pv.01
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=slash --vgname=internal_hd --size=1 --grow
#part / --fstype ext3 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=$d1
EOF
fi
This pre script shows the following errors on vt3:
* Running kickstart %pre script(s)
let: arith: syntax error: "numd=2/2"
let: arith: syntax error: "numd=2/2"
[: 2: unexpected operator
* All kickstart %pre script(s) have been run
* Exception parsing ks.cfg: Defined PV partition pv.01 multiple times
In this particular case I have only one (logical HW RAID) drive and the
/tmp/partinfo is created with the lines contained in the else clause
from above.
The error about partition pv.01 causes kickstart to fail and die :-(
Please see the full kickstart file below.
I should note that if I place the part info from the else clause outside
of the %pre section (i.e. just create a static partition declaration in
the kickstart file) then everything works as expected.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.
Cheers,
Harry
