We have three different partitioning schemes. The kickstart figures out how big the disk is, then uses one of three different schemes based on the size. However, if it's a VM, we automatically select the smallest partitioning scheme -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Oliver Sent: Monday, November 09, 2009 10:52 AM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Kickstart, partitioning, differing disk space So far, I've been installing on physical servers that have ~500GB disk space and on virtual machines that have 20GB. I've been using two different kickstarts: # Partioning for physical servers #logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=vg1 --size=500000 #logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=var --vgname=vg1 --size=20480 #logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --name=tmp --vgname=vg1 --size=8192 #logvol /usr --fstype ext3 --name=usr --vgname=vg1 --size=10240 #logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=home --vgname=vg1 --size=20480 #logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=vg1 --size=8192 # Partitioning for 20GB VMs #logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=vg1 --size 3072 #logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=home --vgname=vg1 --size 2048 #logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=var --vgname=vg1 --size=9000 #logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --name=tmp --vgname=vg1 --size=4096 #logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=vg1 --size=2048 I'm trying to think of how I can have just one partitioning stanza that would take any amount of disk space and partition it. I'm working with: # Test partitioning logvol / --fstype=ext3 --name=root--vgname=vg1 --size=3072 --grow --maxsize=500000 logvol /var --fstype=ext3 --name=var --vgname=vg1 --size=2048 --grow --maxsize=20480 logvol /tmp --fstype=ext3 --name=tmp --vgname=vg1 --size=4096 --grow --maxsize=8192 logvol /home --fstype=ext3 --name=home -vgname=vg1 --size=2048 --grow --maxsize=20480 logvol swap --fstype=swap --name=swap --vgname=vg1 --size=2048 --grow --maxsize=8192 I do not know yet if it will take all lines into consideration, or if it will look at the first line, grow / to 20GB, and then say, "I'm done." Is --percent about the only way I could do this? That seems a little messy. Maybe combined with --maxsize? Has anyone else slain this dragon? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
