Hi. I'm currently trying to configure a kickstart script to do auto installs. We split up the partitions so that we have control on the mount security like setting no execute on the tmp portions etc . I keep hitting the same error : "Could not stat /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol_root --- No Such file or directory The device apparently does not exist; did you specify is correctly " Even

Hello Group, I am building a company application based on Centos 5.7 OS. The application was working earlier and creating right partitions both for hardware as well as VM. But since we introduced Centos 5.7 OS and start building application with 5.7 anaconda the hardware partitions are duplicate of VM partitions *while creating hardware partition my code looks like.* cat >

I'm testing doing kickstart installations on Xen VMs. This is the first time I'm trying out kickstart at all, so I rather think I'm doing something wrong in the kickstart configuration than it is a Xen issue. I use a modified kickstart file from an earlier manual installation with a very basic filesystem setup. It fails with "SystemError: vgcreate failed for VolGroup00".

centos-virt, I'm trying to create/install domU guests all in "one" step, following Daniel's wiki page (I've found these pages really helpful, BTW): http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/InstallingCentOSDomU I have a few questions about this process: (1) How would it be modified (w/respect to defining the disk in the domain configuration file) to use a disk layout where dom0

I'd like to automate the upgrade from CentOS 4.6 to 5.1 as much as possible. Since upgrades per se are not really recommended, I'm planning to do a kickstart installation. However, I want to leave one of the existing partitions (/scratch) untouched during the installation. Here is my current layout (LogVol00 is swap so not shown in the df output below): # df -hl

Hi, I need to mount a LVM in rescue mode to create a new initrd image. I am not sure how do I fond out which LogVol is to be mounted. How do I find it out? In most of the configs I have used LogVol00 with ext3 filesystem which contains OS install. This particular system is not installed by me and I am not sure how do I find it out. I did try 'lvm lvs' command, but probably that's not

I am trying to install CentOS 4.6 to a pair of 750GB hard drives. I can successfully install to either of the drives as a single drive, but when I try to use both drives and mirror the partitions, I start having problems. Anaconda crashes as it is trying to format the drives. This is what I'm trying to create: /dev/md0: 200MB, /boot /dev/md1: 2GB, swap /dev/md2: rest of the

Hello Gentlemen, I would like to ask a question about an issue I have with the Centos 6.3 installation. I have installed a Centos 6.3 on a server we used before with 5.4 on Friday. I have created a KS file to let me connect to the server via VNC and have all repos and packages preconfigured. I only needed to partition the hard drive using VNC. During the partition process I selected which

Hi, just to avoid re-inventing the wheel, is there any document that can help me reduce even further a "minimum" installation of Centos 4.4 (BTW can you say 600mb is minimum)? I am in the process of creating a small Centos-4.4-based Asterisk box and I need to boot it from a CF card. Deleting useless packages will help me do what i want. Example: even a minimum install of Centos 4.4 (or

I took my anaconda-ks.cfg file, cp to ks.cfg and copied to a floppy The isos have been copied to an ftp server. So I had the following lines in my ks.cfg intall url ftp://10.1.1.1// (yes the ftp server's directory is the Centos directory) This is along with all the appropriate network command to get the ethernet setup. I issue the linux ks=floppy (also tried linux

Hey, Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2 fails ? I know I need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue I trimmed down my config. It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because the mount point does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol) It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created and LVM is setup correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not

I am testing some kickstarts on ESXi virtual machine with pair of 16GB disks. Partitioning is lvm over raid. If i am using "logvol --grow i get "ValueError: not enough free space in volume group" Only workaround i can find is to add --maxsize=XXX where XXX is at least 640MB less than available. (10 extents or 320Mb per created logical volume) Following snippet is failing with

I had a rather large ext4 partition on an Areca RAID shut down uncleanly while it was writing. When I mount it again, it recommends fsck, which I do, and I get the following error: Failed to optimize directory ... EXT2 directory corrupted This error shows up every time I run fsck.ext4 on this partition. How can I fix this? The file system seems to work ok otherwise, I can mount it and it

hi, The problem: for kvm/qemu disks are /dev/vdx devices when using the virtio driver. For vmware, drives are /dev/sdx devices. For hp servers, /dev/ccisss/whatever (sorry, no proliant with an array controller handy to check it). in order to just have one kickstart script to maintain I am trying to use the %pre section but getting a bit stuck. This is what I have: %pre if [ -b /dev/sda ] then

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

I am asking this here, that although a kickstart question, may have something to do with the Centos install? I took my Anaconda-ks.cfg from my system, turned it into a ks.cfg and did the install. Everything SEEMS ok, but why? First the partitioning information: ks.cfg supplied: clearpart --all --drives=hda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=hda part / --fstype ext3 --start=14

Dear All, I'm trying to create a kickstart installer. I specified an option --byes-per-inode to 'logvol' command, but I got a message "No such option: --bytes-per-inode" during installation. Does anybody know a solution? The following is the lines for disk partitioning definition specified in my kickstart file. ------------------------- ## ## Disk partitioning information

I fought with this for a day, and now am crying for help.... The goal is 5 partitions: boot, notebook suspend, / , /home. and swap. So I have to use LVM. Here are my commands: #System bootloader configuration bootloader --location=mbr #Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr yes #Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=hda #Disk partitioning information part pv.1
