Description of problem: "--recommended" option doesn't work for "part /boot" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda installer init version 13.21.243 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. execute job https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/1197563 2. Wait for installation 3. Actual results: Below configure doesn't work on RHEL6.8, but it works on RHEL7.2 part raid.01 --grow part /boot --asprimary --fstype="ext4" --recommended After change as below, it works on RHEL6.8 part raid.01 --size=1 --grow part /boot --asprimary --fstype="ext4" --size=512 Expected results: Additional info: The following error was found while parsing the kickstart │ │ configuration file: │ │ │ │ The following problem occurred on line 17 of the kickstart file: │ │ │ │ Partition requires a size specification
The --recommended option has never been meaningful for anything other than swap devices. The reason you don't get an error in RHEL-7 is that there is a default size of 500 MiB for new partitions there. This is not the case in RHEL-6, which is extremely unlikely to change.

Thanks David. How about below: RHEL7 works with "part raid.01 --grow" RHEL6.8 doesn't work with it, but works with below part raid.01 --size=1 --grow Are we planning to change them same with RHEL7?
There are no plans to change RHEL7 to match RHEL6 in this regard.
