I just ran through this exact scenario a week ago. Turns out in inspecting the anaconda code I couldn't actually find any support for that directive, it looks to be more of a placeholder, but I'm no python wizard. What is does support though is auto detecting and creating a simple multipath.conf, good enough configure lvm with during the install. This setup can be triggered by passing 'mpath' as a kernel parameter during kickstart. Only other thing I had to do was add a bit of %post scripting to tweak multipath.conf and lvm.conf for our particular drive/controller setup. -- Matthew Kent \ SA \ bravenet.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
