Disk partitioning w/ Kickstart does not work
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:37:24 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14 i686) Description of problem: I have installed a machine from Roswell CDs just fine. I then took the generated kickstart config file (in /root/), added my usual stuff to the %post section and tried a Kickstart install of the very same machine. The error popping up is: Could not allocate requested partitions: Partitioning failed: Could not allocate partitions. Here is the section from my ks.cfg file which is disk related: zerombr yes clearpart --all part / --fstype ext3 --size 2048 part swap --size 2048 part /var --fstype ext3 --size 1024 part /usr/vice/cache --fstype ext3 --size 1024 part /tmp --fstype ext3 --grow There are no more information on the other virtual console windows. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a ks.cfg with above mentioned disk partition schema 2. start Kickstart (I am using PXE and DHCP) 3. Actual Results: A window with above mentioned disk partition error pops up. Expected Results: It should just partition the disk. Additional info:
Specify a base size for the /tmp partition to grow from and it will work. Dupe of something else, current CVS gives a better error for this case
Ok, that works. I would like to resubmit this as a documentation bug! -- Alf.
