From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Description of problem: The anaconda installer does not create the correct size software RAID partitions Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Red Hat Linux 7.2 with software raid partitions 2. Create ks.cfg file from anaconda-ks.cfg file and boot disk 3. Boot system Actual Results: An error appears that the system cannot install onto disks with size "None". The installation fails. Expected Results: There should have been no error and the correct RAID partitions created and the installation completed. Additional info: The problem is caused by the installer writing an incorrect anaconda-ks.cfg. Here's an example: clearpart --linux #part raid.2 --noformat --onpart hda2 #part raid.5 --noformat --onpart hdc2 #part swap --onpart hda3 #part swap --onpart hdc3 #raid / --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.2 raid.5 The solution is for software RAID partitions to be represented by start and end cylinders, since specifying size may lead to software RAID partitions being placed differently on the disk. For the above example: #clearpart --linux #part raid.2 --noformat --start=2 --end=1001 --ondisk=hda #part raid.5 --noformat --start=2 --end=1001 --ondisk=hdc #part swap --start=1002 --end=1023 --ondisk=hda #part swap --start=1002 --end=1023 --ondisk=hdc #raid / --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.2 raid.5 This is also a problem with Red Hat 7.3
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73884 ***
Excuse me, but how can bug 73884 be a duplicate of this one? You can only register a bug against a single version of RedHat, but I've seen this bug on versions 7.2 and 7.3. Therefore I registered it twice, deliberately.
