similar to: harddisk partition not created right with centos 5.7

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

Has anyone managed to create an encrypted disk partition with CentOS 8 kickstart? 1 reqpart --add-boot 2 part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --ondrive=sda 3 part pv.1 --size=1 --grow --ondrive=sda --encrypted --pashphrase="bla" 4 volgroup vol0 pv.100000 5 logvol / --vgname=vg_00 --name=lv_root --size=102400 --fstype=ext4 ... No matter what I specify in line 3, the installer bombs out.

I am trying to finish off a kickstart file for a computer lab on CentOS 6.5 machines. I don't want to have a separate /home as I'm going to add an entry in fstab for it to nfs mount /home from a server. Is there a way to have it autopart the rest of the file system without /home? Wanting to keep autopart for size since not all hard drives across the labs are the same. Matt

Howdy, The default partitioning scheme appears to be: swap /boot / small amount of space /home remainder of space. Is there any way via kickstart to have it just create swap with the recommended size, /boot, and then just / with the remainder without manually specifying the names of the lvs/vgs etc? I figured there would be an autopart -atomic option but that doesn't seem to exist. Any

Hello Openssh group, I have downloaded the .tar.gz file from openssh site openssh-5.8p2. I need to build this src into an rpm. I don?t see any makefile utility in the main directory.

Hi Giuseppe... ! Thanks for the hint. ill try it. So from the docs, I'm seeing this: "As of Fedora 16 there must be a biosboot partition for the bootloader to be installed successfully onto a disk that contains a GPT/GUID partition table, which includes disks initialized by anaconda. This partition may be created with the kickstart option part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1.

Hello, I need to automate installation of CentOS 7.0 using PXE and kickstart. My server is diskless, I'm installing CentOS on a 25GB LUN on a FC SAN with 4 paths. This LUN is the only one accessible by the server. Anaconda processes successfully the installation. But on reboot, I get stuck on a prompt after BIOS. I think I have an issue with storage configuration / bootloader
