Hey, Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol) It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not made active, so my /dev/volgroup/logvol did not exist. Running `lvm lvchange -a -y pathname` from with in the shell after anaconda failed made the volgroup / logvol active. Which would allow the format command to complete. Option 1: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol swap --fstype swap --name=os_swap_logvol --vgname=os_volgroup01 --recommended logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow Option 2: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part swap --size=1000 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow Thank you -- Michael Gale Red Hat Certified Engineer Network Administrator Pason Systems Corp.
