I would've thought volgroup would be the way to go but reading the docs it seems like you have to create a partition: Volgroup: Create the partition first, create the logical volume group, and then create the logical volume. For example: part pv.01 --size 3000 volgroup myvg pv.01 logvol / --vgname=myvg --size=2000 --name=rootvol -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Speagle, Andy Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 10:53 AM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: RE: Use entire disk as PV. > > I'm trying to setup the partitioning section of my kickstarts in such > > a way that rather than partitioning a disk and using /dev/sdX1 as the > > PV for my root VG, that I can instead use the entire disk. > > > > The reason for doing this would be to make PV resizing a bit easier > > for virtual machines.

I think the problem with it is the entire "part" command... it's creating a partition. There just doesn't seem to be a way to use a disk without partitioning it first.
