We are integrating some pre-install scripts. One of the things we have now
is that in the %pre phase the HW RAID controller is tested for "Virtual
disks" and if none are found it will create a RAID config depending on the
number of disks found.
The problem is that even when we created the RAID, restarted the RAID
driver and created the device node (fdisk -l shows the new disk). Anaconda
does not know about the new disk, likely because the scan for disks
happened before.
I found a file /tmp/scsidisks and also rewrite that file, but still
Anaconda does not update its view of the system after the %pre.
Does someone know how we can make Anaconda understand that we created a
disk in the %pre ?
I'm a little puzzled. Years ago (RHL 7.x I think) I used to initialise disks
in %pre with various incantations of dd and fdisk (one can pipe commands into
fdisk). That worked fine, and I'm pretty sure I created new partitions. fdisk
forces partition tables to be reread.
Of course, it's possible anaconda has been broken since then:-)
This is not partitioning disks. This is in fact creating a /dev/sda where
previously there was no local disk in the %pre.
