kickstart raid disk partitioning
Hello.
A couple of years ago I installed two file-servers
using kickstart. The server has two 1TB sata disks
with two software raid1 partitions as follows:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md1 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0]
933448704 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda2[2](F)
40957568 blocks [2/1] [_U]
Now the drives are starting to be failing and next week

RAID help
Hi All,
I have a new system with 2 Seagate 1TB SATA Enterprise level drives in it.
I want to RAID1 (mirror) these drives.
This machine will be a web-server in my apartment hosting an HTML video fan site I am creating. Apache, MySQL, PHP etc. This site will easily be 300+ gigs with all the versions of each video, the MySQL won't be huge, but will grow as data for each video is added (i.e

kickstart question
I have a couple lines like:

part swap --ondisk=sda --size=4000 --asprimary
part /home --ondisk=sda --fstype ext3 --size=1 --asprimary --grow
in my kickstart file.
Is there a way to have 1 kickstart file that works for hda and sda both???
So I would like to have 1 kickstart file that works for either a hda

anaconda, kickstart, lvm over raid, logvol --grow, centos7 mystery
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)

kickstart partitioning and cylinder boundary
As I understand anaconda uses parted to partition (starting from
centos 6), using this as example (kickstart configuration file):
clearpart --all --drives=sda --initlabel
part /boot --asprimary --size=200 --fstype=ext2 --ondisk=sda
part swap --asprimary --size=16384 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda
part / --asprimary --size=512000 --fstype=ext4 --ondisk=sda
part /scratch --asprimary --size=1 --grow

Installation problems with large mirrored drives
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

Centos 7 and Software Raid Minimal Install
I am trying to install Centos 7 on a couple 4TB drives with software
raid. In the Supermicro bios I set UEFI/BIOS boot mode to legacy. I
am using the Centos 7 minimal install ISO flashed to a USB thumb
drive.
So I do custom drive layout something like this using sda and sdb.
Create /boot as 512 MB XFS raid1 array.
Create SWAP as 32 GB SWAP raid1 array.
Create / on 3.xxx TB XFS raid1 array.

questions on kickstart
I have 2 questions dealing with 2 different kickstart files.
1) my kickstart sections for RAID disk setup and kickstart reports it
cannot find sda. Why is that. sda is there and works.
clearpart --all --initlabel
part raid.01 --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid"
--onpart=sda1 --size=20000
part swap --asprimary --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap"

Anaconda can't squeeze out the repomd.xml
Greetings.
There must be some minor changes to anaconda. I'm getting the error:
"Cannot open repomd.xml file...."
the file seems to be located in the repodata directory...

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)

CentOS 7 kickstart question
Dear Experts,
Could somebody point to kicstart HOWTO specific for CentOS 7?
On CentOS 7 I somehow am always given human intervention questions about
drive which defeats unattended ks install.

installing system when new release comes, and am basing kickstart file on

Problem creating volgroups with kickstart installations (on xen)
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".

PXE boot, Kickstart NFS install and %include...
I was just wondering how (or indeed if) people use the %include
directive in Kickstart configuration files when building systems via
NFS. I've been trying to modularise our Kickstart files a little to
make things more readable, having generic defaults and role specific
stuff split out into separate configs.
I've tried this configuration...

Centos 4 - text based install - LVM ?
Has anyone gotten this to work ?
I can define a raid device but cant put a VG on it. I then tried
'autopartition' and it created an 'LVM' of sorts, when I tried to edit
it I wasnt able to as a message appeared saying, LVM editing was not
allowed in text mode.
Any help ?
Cheers,
Brian.

LVM and kickstarts ?
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

kickstart compat C7 -> C8
Hi all,
I still use the following kickstart partition scheme for C7 installations (via virt-install):
Briefly, fixed size for /root and /boot, and the rest is filled up for /srv.
The same kickstart (despite that c7 uses vda, f29 uses sda) doesn't work with Fedora29 (EL8).
I get a "device is too small for new format" error. Any hints?
