Well, not so fast. suomi's example did not involve LVM but LVM is the
default for Fedora. Trying to follow the example and adjusting for LVM
doesn't work for me. With these kickstart commands,
bootloader --driveorder=sda --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda
clearpart --none --initlabel
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --onpart=sda
part pv.01 --noformat --onpart=sda
volgroup vg_test1 pv.01 --noformat
logvol /home --noformat --name=lv_home --vgname=vg_test1
logvol / --useexisting --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_test1
logvol swap --useexisting --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_test1
installation fails with the message, "Members may not be specified for
preexisting volgroup".
I'm not sure to what "members" refers in that message. If I change the
volgroup line to omit "pv.01", installation fails saying, 'Volume group
"vg_test1" given in volgroup command does not exist.' If "members" means
the logvol lines, then where can I specify noformat for /home? (And
checking /dev/mapper via TTY2 shows that the volgroup does exist, though
it wasn't activated.)
