Hi Dashamir

We are able to install RAID with kickstart and SL3.03.  We use a combination
of RAID1 and RAID0.  Here are the relevant sections of my ks file.
It creates a /boot with raid1, / with raid0, and
/export/u10 with raid0.


clearpart --all --initlabel
part raid.00 --size 256  --ondisk sda
part raid.01 --size 256  --ondisk sdb
part  swap                      --size 2048        --asprimary --ondisk sda
part  swap                      --size 2048        --asprimary --ondisk sdb
part raid.10 --size 2048  --ondisk sda
part raid.11 --size 2048  --ondisk sdb
part raid.20 --size 1 --grow  --ondisk sda
part raid.21 --size 1 --grow  --ondisk sdb
raid /boot --level 1 --device md0 --fstype ext3 raid.00 raid.01
raid / --level 0 --device md1 --fstype ext3 raid.10 raid.11
raid /export/u10 --level 0 --device md2 --fstype ext3 raid.20 raid.21

I think that it is a bug too.

I have also noticed some problems with disc partitions.
Initially they are commented and this is obviously by design.
Then I uncomment them and modify them in order to use the
existing partitions, but it doesn't work. There is always some
kind of error message and I never managed to do a re-installation
totally automatically. I comment the partition instructions in ks.cfg
and during installation select the partitions manually. I have two
disks in my server and I am trying to use RAID1, and maybe this
makes things a little bit more complicated for the kickstart file.

In general, I don't like the policy of protecting the user from himself.
The default assumption in Linux/UNIX is that the user knows
what he is doing.
