Description James Laska 2005-11-03 15:12:12 UTC
# TREE rawhide-20051103
# ARCH x86_64

Kickstart install using pykickstart generated anaconda-ks.cfg fails at
partitioning step.  It is not happy with --size=0 despite the --grow option. 
I'm not sure how it printed "--size=0" considering the pykickstart code paths
have a conditional check:

            if part.size != 0:
                str = str + " --size=%d" % part.size
      AND
            if part.size > 0:
                str = str + " --size=%d" % part.size

However, if we are going through anaconda/partitions.py Partitions::writeKS()
then it appears possible that --size=0

                if request.size == 0:
                    args.append("--size=0")


Steps to reproduce:
 1) perform a manual installation
 2) perform a kickstart installation using /root/anaconda-ks.cfg generated in step#1

============================================================
"Error Parsing Kickstart Config"
============================================================

The following error was found while parsing your kickstart 
configuration:

The following problem occured on line 20 of the kickstart file:

Partition requires a size specification

                 [ Reboot ]

Comment 2 James Laska 2005-11-03 16:06:05 UTC
update ... if I remove the entire --size=0 specification from line 20, anaconda
indicates that --size is required.  Using a --size=100 was able to work around
the problem.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2005-11-03 21:14:40 UTC
--size=0 --grow is legal and should be allowed.  Fixed.
