Hi, I am struggling with kickstart. What I want to achieve is a reinstall, but some data partitions should survive the install, i.e. they should not be formatted. With a single disk this works, here is the relevant part from the kickstart file (I shortened the name of the volume group) ... zerombr clearpart --none --initlabel part /boot --fstype="xfs" --label=boot --onpart=vda1 part pv.00 --fstype="lvmpv" --onpart=vda2 --noformat volgroup v --noformat logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=wurzel --vgname=v --useexisting logvol /home --fstype=ext4 --name=home --vgname=v --noformat ... you see, / will be reformatted, /boot will be reformatted, but /home will not. Now a machine with md raid 1. I tried the following. ... #zerombr #clearpart --none --initlabel part raid.01 --onpart vda1 --noformat part raid.02 --onpart vdb1 --noformat raid /boot --fstype xfs --label boot --level 1 --device md0 --noformat part raid.11 --onpart vda2 --noformat part raid.12 --onpart vdb2 --noformat raid pv.00 --level 1 --device md1 --noformat volgroup v --noformat logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=wurzel --vgname=v --useexisting logvol /home --fstype=ext4 --name=home --vgname=v --noformat ... But I get ... 02:54:21,069 ERR anaconda: storage configuration failed: The following problem occurred on line 6 of the kickstart file: No preexisting RAID device with the name "0" was found. ... What is wrong? I really want preserve data and only wipe system. -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb
Hi!
