This process needs to be automated as we create and destroy dozens of virtual machines on a nightly basis to test our applications. Our script works fine when installing older OS versions (RHEL 6.2 and prior). But with recent OS versions (RHEL 6.3), Anaconda installation halts with a warning: > > ------------ > Storage Device Warning > > The storage device below may contain data. > > Virtio Block Device > <device info> > > We could not detect partitions or filesystems on this device. > > This could be because the device is blank, unpartitioned or virtual. > ... > > [Yes, discard any data] [No, keep any data] > ----------- > > How can we avoid this warning, or accept it automatically?

I think that should do it b/c the devices will then have a structure that anaconda won't flake out on. -sv _______________________________________________ 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
