I'm still "old school" and prefer hard partitions for /boot, /, /usr, /var, /tmp, /home... Here's the type of thing I do in %pre sections: %pre # dd wipes out primary copy of GPT. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=20 # This is useless at this point due to the bug in Anaconda/parted. # Leave here because an invalid partiton table (from the dd) stops install. # Update: RedHat fixed Anaconda bug in RHEL 5 Update 3, so this should work. sfdisk -uM /dev/sda <<EOF ,150,L ,,E ; ; ,512,L ,32768,S ,8000,L ,2048,L ,10000,L ,,L EOF # Device node exists, even when disk doesn't. Try it to confirm. # If /dev/sdb exists, wipe it out too... might look like RAID mirror.... dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1 if [ $? = 0 ]; then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=20 sfdisk -uM /dev/sdb <<EOF ,,L ; ; ; EOF fi -- Cristopher J.
