partition map is sorted by anaconda during kickstart processing
Last modified: 2008-04-20 16:54:25 EDT
Description of problem: I enter my partitions the way I want them and in the order I want them but there is a sort in anaconda that changes the order to alphabetical. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All rhel versions and fedora core versions How reproducible: happens EVERY time Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a ks.cfg file 2. put partitions in the order you want them to be 3. save the ks.cfg file WHICH shows the order you requested 4. do a kickstart with this config file 5. observe the partitions as they are laid out now (sorted) Actual results: Partitions sorted alphabetically Expected results: partitions laid out as specified in the ks.cfg file. Additional info:
Here's the partition layout as specified by my ks.cfg file: # ### Partition our hard disks. # clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=1024 part / --fstype ext3 --size=1024 part swap --fstype swap --size=12288 part /var --fstype ext3 --size=2048 part /opt --fstype ext3 --size=3072 part /usr --fstype ext3 --size=17408 part /export/home --fstype ext3 --size=4096 --grow
