When I inherited this project, it was a script, and it did basically what you are suggesting, but the mke2fs on the Redhat 6.8 ISO is defective and cannot create a filesystem larger than 16 TB. So I needed to switch to XFS, and the mkfs.xfs is not there, not even in the freshly created installed system, unless you also declaratively create an XFS partition somewhere. I was hoping that there is a newer version of anaconda that I could use on the DVD, that would have something like the logvol --percent option, but for the part statement. The alternative I'm seeing right now is to create a dummy partition on SDB declaratively, and then have a script that deletes it and makes two new partitions from inside the chroot into the fresh system. I find this option highly objectionable. Nobody should leave this kind of legacy hack behind at work. :-) Thanks, Felix _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
