I've seen this thread from December and I have a questiona about LVM definition on kickstart files. Is it posible to define the partition where the volgroup will be created on a already existing device with the --onpart option?. For example: part pv.01 --onpart hda1 volgroup vg.01 pv.01 logvol /home --size 5120 --fstype ext3 --name homevol --vgname vg.01 logvol / --size 10240 --grow --fstype ext3 --name tmpvol --vgname vg.01 .... Or should I use a previusly cleared disk (with the "clearpart --ondisk=hda" directive) to assing a partition to a volume group? (as in the Michel example with: part pv.hda --size 5120 --grow) Thanks for any help or referral Jorge On Sun, 2005-12-11 at 22:47, Michel Jouvin wrote: > Michael, > > Hier is an example : > > part /boot --size 64 --asprimary --fstype ext2 --ondisk hda > part swap --size 1024 --asprimary --fstype swap --ondisk hda --recommended > part pv.hda --size 5120 --grow > volgroup vg.01 pv.hda > logvol /afscache --size 500 --fstype ext3 --name afsvol --vgname vg.01 > logvol /home --size 512 --fstype ext3 --name homevol --vgname vg.01 > logvol / --size 5120 --fstype ext3 --name rootvol --vgname vg.01 > logvol /scratch --size 1024 --fstype ext3 --name scratchvol --vgname vg.01 > logvol /tmp --size 512 --fstype ext3 --name tmpvol --vgname vg.01 > logvol /var --size 1024 --fstype ext3 --name varvol --vgname vg.01 > > > > Michel > > --On lundi 12 décembre 2005 07:35 +1000 Michael Mansour <[log in to unmask]> > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I'd like to build the following filesystem structure from kickstart: > > > > /dev/sda9 1032072 439768 539876 45% / > > /dev/sda1 99134 11378 82637 13% /boot > > none 517360 0 517360 0% /dev/shm > > /dev/sda3 3051952 2218300 678620 77% /home > > /dev/sda7 1032072 17696 961948 2% /opt > > /dev/sda10 507732 10555 470964 3% /tmp > > /dev/sda2 3096336 2103128 835924 72% /usr > > /dev/sda8 1032072 17800 961844 2% /usr/local > > /dev/sda6 2064192 108300 1851036 6% /var > > > > and swap as: > > > > /dev/sda5 partition 2097128 160 -1 > > > > but creating them all as LVM volumes with LV's (in ext3). > > > > I have read the kickstart options here: > > > > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guid > > e/s1-kickstart2-options.html#S2-KICKSTART2-OPTIONS-PART-EXAMPLES > > > > but I *don't* need RAID, as the "sda" device above is actually a 13.5Gb > > virtual LUN (a SAN disk) presented to the host, with underlying RAID > > technology which Linux doesn't need to know about.
