RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Document URL:

Section Number and Name: 

part or partition (required)  Creates a partition on the system.

Describe the issue: 

Regarding this text: "--grow - Tells the logical volume to grow to fill available space (if any), or up to the maximum size setting, if one is specified."

Suggestions for improvement: 

There are two sections about "--grow". This particular section isn't for "logical volumes", but rather for "partitions".  

It should say "Tells the partition to grow to fill..."

Next, it could also be helpful to explain the feature a bit more. If the configuration were:

part  /home  --size=1024  --grow
part  /opt   --size=1024  --grow

What will that do?

Also: with virtual machines disks, you may have a vm disk which "grows" in real time.  The "grow" being done by kickstart is a one-time action only. It will not grow in real time.  This distinction could (optionally) be mentioned to clarify the functionality overall.
