I'm going to ensure these partitions are written only to the first disk, with the following option, however I have both SCSI and IDE drive sets in my machine bank: --ondisk=sda (or) --ondisk=hda
I still don't understand why it would start performing differently on the seawolf release... <mumbles on> Does anyone know the link to the actual kickstart documentation site? I can't find any leads from poking around on RedHat's support site. Enjoy the weekend! -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Satterthwaite, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 6:21 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: kickstart partitioning issue <crossing his fingers and wishing for the best> Has the kickstart partition listing format changed from RedHat 6.2 to 7.1? My kickstart and post configuration scripts work great, save one serious problem. If there are two disks in the target system, the installation spans both of them. The same partitioning used to work correctly on 6.2's kickstart, by only using one disk in a multi-disk'ed system. Here is the snippet from the ks.cfg file (assume the disks are > 9 gigs): zerombr yes clearpart --all part /boot --size 54 --grow --maxsize 128 part / --size 2047 --grow --maxsize 3072 part swap --size 1028 part /tmp --size 512 --grow --maxsize 1024 part /scratch --size 128 --grow I wondered if the format mattered, since there were tabs and spaces intermixed, but when I set them all to spaces, I got the same results. The above gives /boot on the first drive (hda), and all the other partitions are all on the second drive (hdb). /boot is only 128 and the rest of the hda drive is free. / grows to 3 gig, swap is 1 gig, and /tmp is 1 gig - as expected. However, /scratch is under a gig, with lots of free space left on the second drive as well. Does anyone know why this happens, and/or how to fix it? This will install normally (even with /scratch filling the disk) if there is only one drive. -Chris _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
