I'm using rhel5.6 anaconda, and attempting to align some systems with SSD disks with parted, prior to kickstarting them. My kickstart contains the following:
%include /tmp/pre_install_parted
%pre
# use fdisk -l to determine if the block device is /dev/sda or /dev/hda etc...
echo "parted -s $(fdisk -l | awk '/Disk/ {print $2}'|cut -d: -f1) -- mklabel msdos mkpart primary 2048s 514047s mkpart primary 514048s -10M set 1 boot on" > /tmp/pre_install_parted
The above is nice because whether I'm kickstarting on /dev/hda, /dev/sda, etc, parted finds the block device and partitions the drive starting at the 2048 sector.
Now I'd like to somehow pass the block device info from %pre to the partitioning portion of kickstart:
part /boot --onpart=$(the output of the above fdisk command)1
part pv.0 --onpart=$(the output of the above fdisk command)2
Is it possible to do this? Can I somehow read the contents of a file I create in %pre and use it as the argument to --onpart=?
Thank you.
