Hey,
I am currently using Centos5, the method you provided has the swap part
of the LVM. This works with out an issue, the problem I am having is
with the setup I show under option2.
If the swap is not part of the LVM, it fails.

Hey,
Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ?
What are you installing?
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
In CentOS5, Anaconda complains (but continues) with that, and so my
question.
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
I'll let you compare, this works with CentOS5:
zerombr
part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=100 --ondisk=hda
part pv.6 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=hda
volgroup VolGroup00 pv.6
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024
--grow
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=512
