anaconda crashes when specifying --ondisk while using lvm
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:03 EST
Description of problem: Anaconda crashes when specifying an --ondisk when attempting to use LVM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RH EL AS 3.0 U2 How reproducible: With any --ondisk= params while using lvm Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit ks.cfg to include lvm and an --ondisk param 2. kickstart the target machine 3. look at crash dump. :-) Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Specifying --ondisk=/dev/cciss/c0d0 when not using LVM works just fine. If a server has more than one disk available, anaconda will layout LVM across disks. This is undesirable.
From the crash dump: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1081, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 422, in run (step, args) = dispatch.currentStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 262, in currentStep self.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 157, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 225, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 1337, in doAutoPartition doPartitioning(diskset, partitions, doRefresh = 0) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 990, in doPartitioning (ret, msg) = processPartitioning(diskset, requests, newParts) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 934, in processPartitioning ret = fitSized(diskset, requests, 1, newParts) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 334, in fitSized disk = diskset.disks[drive] KeyError: /dev/cciss/c0d0 and from the ks.cfg: part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 400 part swap --size 2048 part pv.01 --size 26000 --ondisk=/dev/cciss/c0d0 volgroup vg00 pv.01 logvol / --vgname=vg00 --size=200 --name=lvol1 logvol /tmp --vgname=vg00 --size=2048 --name=lvol4 logvol /opt --vgname=vg00 --size=4096 --name=lvol5 logvol /usr --vgname=vg00 --size=4096 --name=lvol6 logvol /var --vgname=vg00 --size=1024 --name=lvol7 logvol /var/tmp --vgname=vg00 --size=4096 --name=lvol10 logvol /home --vgname=vg00 --size=200 --name=lvol11 it doesn't seem to matter where --ondisk is, or the specification, e.g., --ondisk=/dev/cciss/c0d0, --ondisk=c0d0 --ondisk=cciss/c0d0.
You need to specify --ondisk=cciss/c0d0, not /dev/cciss/c0d0
Jeremy, Thanks- I could have sworn that I tried that one... oh well. Sorry. Just checked my logs and no. I didn't try it. Anyway, when anaconda blew up, it said that "this is probably a bug" and that I should submit it. Thanks again Yves
