Just curious, why do you need an 8M chunk size? What sort of devices are you writing to? -C ________________________________________ From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of Jay Naikwadi [jnaikwadi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 2:47 PM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: RAID chunk size configuration from kickstart Well in my case the nodes did have exact same config so that is not issue. But if kickstart command itself supported additional parameters it would have been lot simpler to specify chunk size. As in other cases we need to worry about different devices names(sd*/cciss*) etc and do all of this stuff in %post section to set the chunk size. But just to confirm , so there is no way this can be done using kickstart 'raid' command and has to be done using tools like mdadm in %pre / %post sections ?
