In regard to: Re: Old style fixed partitions in KS-- Anaconda bug??, Cris...:
I'm also curious-- if your suggestion above works (where you partition the disk with sfdisk and then use LVM), I'm even more curious why my version doesn't work-- I'm doing the same thing, just more statements of the form: "part /boot --fstype ext3 --onpart=hda1".
I used this just recently on RHEL 4.6, and it worked fine. I did partitioning manually in %pre (I didn't have time to get sfdisk right, though your examples will undoubtedly help me down the road...), and also created the filesystems and the basic LVM in %pre too. zerombr yes # # TVM: don't do anything to the disk label. # clearpart --none #/boot part /boot --noformat --onpart=hda1 # swap part swap --noformat --onpart=hda2 # / part / --noformat --onpart=hda3 # remainder for LVM part pv.01 --noformat --onpart=hda4 volgroup localvg1 pv.01 --noformat logvol /usr/local --noformat --name=local --vgname=localvg1 logvol /tmp --noformat --name=tmp --vgname=localvg1 logvol /var --noformat --name=var --vgname=localvg1 logvol /home --noformat --name=home --vgname=localvg1 logvol /u01 --noformat --name=oracle --vgname=localvg1 Tim -- Tim Mooney Tim.Mooney@xxxxxxxx Information Technology Services (701) 231-1076 (Voice) Room 242-J6, IACC Building (701) 231-8541 (Fax) North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105-5164 _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
