I've found the best info on kickstart is actually on the Fedora site. Here is a link to the presentation I did earlier this year at Linuxworld in case there is anything in there that might be of help: www.shabazian.com/lw2007.pdf As for your filesystem setup, you may need to do it in the %pre. Not sure about stride as I've never used it. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Mooney Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 10:14 AM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: possible FAQ: setting filesystem parameters with part/logvol? Hi All- I'm new to the list, though not kickstart. We've been using it since the RH 2.1 ES days for server deployment, and I'm very pleased to see some of the latest improvments available in ks (like remote logging). Now the questions: - is there a kickstart FAQ? Googling for kickstart FAQ didn't turn up anything related to the kickstart that's the topic of this list. - is there a way to pass filesystem creation parameters to part/logvol? I need to set the stride size on all the filesystems on several boxes I will be kickstarting (RHEL 4u6, unfortunately I can't use 5u1 because the software the boxes will be running doesn't support 5.x yet). I essentially want to pass -E stride=16 to part/logvol. Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?
