Description Patrick C. F. Ernzer 2005-08-01 13:24:13 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
With REHL4 U0 and RHEL3 U5 we added an option 'ignoredisk' to kickstart.

We should describe this in the sag under '1.4. Kickstart Options'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel-sag(EN)-4-HTML-RHI (2005-06-06T17:10U1)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. find out about the 'ignoredisk' option
2. read section '1.4. Kickstart Options' of the System Administration Guide
3. read /usr/share/doc/anaconda*/*
  

Actual Results:  no mention of the option

Expected Results:  all options should be documented

Additional info:

Suggested text:
(in the RHEL3 SAG, we need to point out that this is only U5 and newer)

ignoredisk (optional)

  Allows you to have anaconda ignore disks.
  This is useful if you use autopartition and want to be sure some disks are ignored. This is also useful if you have multiple paths to your disks.

  ignoredisk -- drives=<drive1>,<drive2>,...
  where <driveN> is one of sda,sdb,...,hda,... etc.

[end]
Have a look at BZs 163911, 156356 (this says RHEL4 U1, but it also works in U0), 140464 and 79016 for discussions of this option.
Comment 1 Mike Behm 2006-02-13 21:38:21 UTC 
Made the requested change to the RHEL 4 manual, but not to the RHEL 3 manual.
Comment 3 Mike Behm 2006-04-20 23:44:32 UTC 
I believe that it's here:

http://doxbox.rdu.redhat.com/docbot/rhel/rhel-5-0-0/HTML/en/rhel-sag-en/s1-kickstart2-options.html

Is that sufficient?
