Expected results: Additional info: Here is the relevant part of the kickstart file: # Disk partitioning information part raid.01 --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sda --size=128 part raid.03 --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sda --size=10240 part swap --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap" --ondisk=sda --size=1024 part raid.05 --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --grow --ondisk=sda --size=1 part raid.02 --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sdb --size=128 part raid.04 --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --ondisk=sdb --size=10140 part swap --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap" --ondisk=sdb --size=1024 part raid.06 --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="raid" --grow --ondisk=sdb --size=1 raid /boot --bytes-per-inode=4096 --device=md0 --fstype="ext3" --level=1 raid.01 raid.02 raid / --bytes-per-inode=4096 --device=md1 --fstype="ext3" --level=1 raid.03 raid.04 raid /data --bytes-per-inode=4096 --device=md2 --fstype="ext3" --level=1 raid.05 raid.06
Created attachment 150060 [details] Anaconda dump I tried to add a "--noformat" option to all "part" instructions, but it didn't help
I tried the following, more minimalistic config but got the same error: part raid.01 --size=128 --ondisk=sda part raid.02 --size=128 --ondisk=sdb part raid.11 --size=10240 --ondisk=sda part raid.12 --size=10240 --ondisk=sdb part raid.21 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda part raid.22 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb part swap --size=1024 --ondisk=sda part swap --size=1024 --ondisk=sdb raid /boot --level=1 --device=md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid / --level=1 --device=md1 raid.11 raid.12 raid /data --level=1 --device=md2 raid.21 raid.22
