From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.08 [en] (X11; I; AIX 4.3) Description of problem: Use the --device option for creating a raid5 with kickstart. ks.cfg: part raid.01 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sdb --asprimary part raid.02 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sdc --asprimary part raid.03 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sdd --asprimary part raid.04 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sde --asprimary raid /usr2 --fstype ext3 --level=RAID5 --spares=1 --device md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03 raid.04 This kickstart instructions works correct at the same computer under Red Hat 7.2. Also you can find a example for using --device in the kickstart documentation at the raid chapter. RHEL ES 2.1´s anaconda create in file /etc/raidtab the /dev/mdmd0 device. Boot after kickstart stop at mount because the /dev/mdmd0 does not exist. Without the --device md0 option raid /usr2 --fstype ext3 --level=RAID5 --spares=1 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03 raid.04 the /etc/raidtab is o.k. and the boot after kickstart works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a raid5 with kickstart using the --device option 2. Reboot afte kickstart finished 3. Additional info:
Use --device 0 with 2.1 for md0 (or 1 for md1, etc). The next release is a bit more forgiving in the syntaxes it allows.
The workaround --device 0 is o.k.. Now the /dev/md0 is in file /etc/raidtab. raid /usr2 --fstype ext3 --level=RAID0 --device 0 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03 r aid.04 The fix comes with the next quaterly update because I user Q2 at this time?
