Kickstart putting /boot on sda2 (anaconda partition enumeration)?
Does anyone know how anaconda partitioning enumerates disk partitions when
specified in kickstart? I quickly browsed through the anaconda installer
source on github but didn't see the relevant bits.
I'm using the centOS 6.10 anaconda installer.
Somehow I am ending up with my swap partition on sda1, /boot on sda2, and
root on sda3. for $REASONS I want /boot to be the partition #1 (sda1)

Kickstart issue with UEFi
Hi,
I have a test system that booted fine using "Legacy Bios? mode and using the following Kickstart snippet configured the disks correctly:-
# Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
# Disk partitioning information
part raid.01 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sda --size=500
part raid.02 --fstype="raid" --grow

Convert "bare partition" to RAID1 / mdadm?
I have a large disk full of data that I'd like to upgrade to SW RAID 1
with a minimum of downtime. Taking it offline for a day or more to rsync
all the files over is a non-starter. Since I've mounted SW RAID1 drives
directly with "mount -t ext3 /dev/sdX" it would seem possible to flip
the process around, perhaps change the partition type with fdisk or
parted, and remount as

Software RAID complete drives or individual partitions
I have been reading about software raid. I configured my first software raid system about a month ago.
I have 4 500 Gig drives configured in RAID 5 configuration with a total of 1.5TB.
Currently I configured the complete individual drivers as software raid, then created a /dev/md0 with the drives
I then created a /file_storage partition on /dev/md0.
I created my /boot / and swap partitions on

Kickstart install with a degraded raid array
Is it possible to install CentOS 5 with a degraded RAID 1 array using
kickstart? I have the kickstart file already created but the "server" I
want to use only has 1 hard drive in it at the moment. Until I can order
a 2nd drive, I wanted to install the OS then once I received the
replacement drive "fix" the array. I have seen instructions how to do
this manually, but so far have

dracut-initqueue errors while using virt-install + kickstart file
I am trying to install a CentOS qemu/kvm virtual machine using a
virt-install script[1].
Since Anaconda text user interface does not permit to users to edit
filesystem type and mount points[2], I decided to use a kickstart file
to customize such settings. To create a kickstart file, I used a trick:
I installed a CentOS machine using Anaconda graphical user interface,
and I made all customizations

C7 + UEFI + GPT + RAID1
Hi list,
I'm new with UEFI and GPT.
For several years I've used MBR partition table. I've installed my
system on software raid1 (mdadm) using md0(sda1,sdb1) for swap,
md1(sda2, sdb2) for /, md2 (sda3,sdb3) for /home. From several how-to
concerning raid1 installation, I must put each partition on a different
md devices. I've asked times ago if it's more correct create the

Kickstart deploys more packages?
Hi,
Does anyone know why an Anaconda Kickstart installation deploys more rpm
packages than a manual "basic" installation?
In both cases the following package groups were installed/used according
to anaconda-ks.cfg in root home directory: @core, @server-policy,
@workstation-policy

Problem with mdadm, raid1 and automatically adds any disk to raid
Hi.
CENTOS 7.6.1810, fresh install - use this as a base to create/upgrade new/old machines.
I was trying to setup two disks as a RAID1 array, using these lines
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md2 --level=0 --raid-devices=2

C7 + UEFI + GPT + RAID1
Hi messmer,
seems that anaconda supports partitioned RAID devices. Disk selection
see one mdraid device and permits to create partition on it.

stupid question about kickstart file
Hi,
Is is possible to use kickstart file to install rhel from dvd drive?
Mainly idea is to clone one anaconda.ks file to about twenty
machines.?
examples? ftp/http/dhcp is not possible due to network limitations.

LVM & Softraid & expansion
I've been reading the RHEL 5 manual/guide linked from centos, and the idea
of LVM with expandable partitions seems like a great idea (yes duh why else
would it exist if not?). Although the documentation shows a screenshot of
how the final setup would look like with LVM & RAID together, it doesn't
actually gives the step.

Questions on making a kickstart cfg
So I took the anaconda cfg, commented out the partition/disk pieces and
ran it off my repo server and it almost worked.
Little things like not including things I had done on network setup. No
first boot.... :)
So now I am reading up on building a kickstart cfg

Kickstart from floppy falling into regular install
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

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.
