Description Shanti Katta 2006-04-21 15:41:20 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #164787 +++

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720
Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
With REHL4 U0 and RHEL3 U5 we added an option 'ignoredisk' to kickstart.

We should describe this in the sag under '1.4. Kickstart Options'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel-sag(EN)-4-HTML-RHI (2005-06-06T17:10U1)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. find out about the 'ignoredisk' option
2. read section '1.4. Kickstart Options' of the System Administration Guide
3. read /usr/share/doc/anaconda*/*
  

Actual Results:  no mention of the option

Expected Results:  all options should be documented

Additional info:

Suggested text:
(in the RHEL3 SAG, we need to point out that this is only U5 and newer)

ignoredisk (optional)

  Allows you to have anaconda ignore disks.
  This is useful if you use autopartition and want to be sure some disks are
ignored. This is also useful if you have multiple paths to your disks.

  ignoredisk -- drives=<drive1>,<drive2>,...
  where <driveN> is one of sda,sdb,...,hda,... etc.

[end]
Have a look at BZs 163911, 156356 (this says RHEL4 U1, but it also works in U0),
140464 and 79016 for discussions of this option.

Made the requested change to the RHEL 4 manual, but not to the RHEL 3 manual.

Mike,

Where has this note regarding ignoredisk been added. I did not find this
option in  section 1.4 of RHEL4 sag.

Thanks,
Shanti

Added "Documentation" keyword

Comment 5 Joshua Wulf 2007-01-23 09:10:11 UTC
It is not in the published version of the RHEL 4 SAG. This document has recently
been converted to xml and we are cleaning it up. This addition can be made soon.

Comment 6 Michael Hideo 2007-06-06 04:44:49 UTC
Adding 'cc ecs-dev-list for tracking
