Description of problem: The following kickstart partitioning scheme worked on a 10GB hard disk on RHEL6 (note, this is part of a script and the variables are resolved to: FSTYPE==ext4, VGNAME==VolGroup01, ENC==--encrypt or empty): logvol / --fstype $FSTYPE --name=root --vgname=$VGNAME --size=2048 --grow $ENC logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LvSwap --vgname=$VGNAME --size=256 --grow --maxsize=512 $ENC logvol /var/log --fstype $FSTYPE --name=varlog --vgname=$VGNAME --size=200 --grow --maxsize=2048 --fsoptions="defaults,nodev,noexec,nosuid" $ENC ## Optional partitions, you MAY (de)activate and resize as appropriate logvol /home --fstype $FSTYPE --name=home --vgname=$VGNAME --size=50 --grow --maxsize=10000 --fsoptions="defaults,nodev" $ENC logvol /var --fstype $FSTYPE --name=var --vgname=$VGNAME --size=500 --grow --maxsize=50000 $ENC logvol /var/log/audit --fstype $FSTYPE --name=audit --vgname=$VGNAME --size=2000 $ENC logvol /tmp --fstype $FSTYPE --name=temp --vgname=$VGNAME --size=1000 $ENC On the RHEL6.1 alpha ISO, the 10GB partition is insufficient - the /tmp partition cannot be created any more. lvm pvdisplay and lvm vgdisplay show a 10GB partition, but lvdisplay shows: root: 5GB swap: 384MB varlog: 288MB home: 32MB var: 768MB audit: 2GB You see that root is bigger than it need be. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 6.1 alpha ISO
Reproduced on RHEL6.1 Alpha x86_64 Server, verified fix on RHEL6.1 Beta x86_64 Server.
Fix works for me.
