The kickstart entry, as defined, should define a partition of max size 'cos you only have one --grow value part / --fstype=ext4 --asprimary --grow --size=1 In my tests the partition always fills the disk allocated to it, so there's no need to resize after install. # fdisk -l Disk /dev/vda: 4294 MB, 4294967296 bytes 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8322 cylinders Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000666f1 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/vda1 * 3 206 102400 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/vda2 206 1246 524288 82 Linux swap / Solaris Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/vda3 1246 8323 3566592 83 Linux Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. Under what circumstances is a resize needed? -- rgds Stephen _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
