Hey,
So I have created another kickstart that I believe should be correct
and it fails the same way with the same problems:
--snip--
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part swap --size=1000
part pv.os --size=8000 --grow --maxsize=8000 --asprimary
volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024
--grow
--snip--

Hey,
Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I
need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed
down my config.
It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point
does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol)
It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup
correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not made active, so my
/dev/volgroup/logvol did not exist.
Running `lvm lvchange -a -y pathname` from with in the shell after
anaconda failed made the volgroup / logvol active. Which would allow the
format command to complete.
Option 1:
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary
volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=os_swap_logvol --vgname=os_volgroup01 --recommended
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow
Option 2:
zerombr yes
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100
part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary
volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root --vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow
I do this through kickstart and here's what I use:
bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr yes
clearpart --linux --initlabel --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=128 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part pv.0 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
volgroup CentOS --pesize=32768 pv.0
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=CentOS --size=4096 --grow --maxsize=16384
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=CentOS --size=1024 --grow --maxsize=2048
I haven't tried without swap and I think anaconda expects there to be a swap definition
in kickstart, so that might be it, lv wasn't activated because swap was missing.
Best I can think of.
