I am using a kickstart file for CentOS 7 raid / --device=md0 --fstype="xfs" --level=1 --useexisting raid /home --noformat --device=md1 --level=1 --useexisting It is erroring out on the --useexisting. The exact text is: RAID volume "0" specified with "--useexisting" does not exist. What did I do wrong? Jerry

I want to replace an existing 32bit with a 64bit installation (Centos 5). There's an existing LVM with lots of partitions. Most are used for Xen guests. The system itself uses only one of them plus a separate /boot partition that is not on LVM. What's the best course of action here? Should I do the reinstall with kickstart or better manually and reuse the existing filesystem? As I
