Hi, I've successfully used xenguest-install.py to do a kickstart install of FC5 as follows: xenguest-install.py --name=guest1 --file=/dev/vg01/lv_guest1_vm --ram=384 --location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/5/i386/os/ --extra-args="ip=192.168.23.229 netmask=255.255.255.248 gateway=192.168.23.225 dns=192.168.2.203,192.168.2.204 ks=http://example.com/kickstart/guest1-fc5.cfg"; This presents a lv to the guest and the kickstart config does all the partioning (I use lvm in kickstart too!). However, I've decided that the best way to use multiple partitions with xen guests is to define them as logical volumes on the Dom0 host and pass them to the DomU guest as separate partitions. e.g. lvcreate --name guest1_root --size 1.2G /dev/vg01 lvcreate --name guest1_usr --size 800M /dev/vg01 lvcreate --name guest1_home --size 5G /dev/vg01 lvcreate --name guest1_var --size 15G /dev/vg01 lvcreate --name guest1_swap --size 2G /dev/vg01 Then the Xen guest disk configuration would be something like: disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg01/guest1_root,xvda1,w', 'phy:/dev/vg01/guest1_usr,xvda2,w', 'phy:/dev/vg01/guest1_home,xvda3,w', 'phy:/dev/vg01/guest1_var,xvda4,w', 'phy:/dev/vg01/guest1_swap,xvda5,w' ] i.e. each lv on the Dom0 will appear as a separate partition inside the DomU guest. The benefit of this is that all partition management will be done in Dom0, e.g. To increase a partition size, I can shutdown the guest, increase the lv size, grow the FS and restart the guest. My question is: How can I specify multiple disks for the Xen0 guest and launch a kickstart installation? Thanks for any thoughts.
