Description Peter Robinson 2015-05-12 16:14:34 UTC

The Fedora cloud images use the following kickstart option for disk partitioning because a boot/swap partition isn't needed or useful.

zerombr
clearpart --all
part / --size 3000 --fstype ext4

The issue is that some virtual HW needs some other options like /boot/efi for virt platforms that use uEFI boot or PrEP for POWER platforms which are handled well with autopart in an architecture independent manner.

It would be useful to have --noboot and --noswap options for the autopart option as a result. That way something like the following could be used for all architectures:

autopart --nolvm --noboot --noswap

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Reported upstream so hopefully someone might see it there: https://github.com/rhinstaller/blivet/issues/551

Comment 3 Vendula Poncova 2017-03-09 12:14:18 UTC

This requires changes in anaconda and pykickstart.
