Hi,
I am struggling with kickstart.
What I want to achieve is a reinstall, but some data partitions should
survive the install, i.e. they should not be formatted.
With a single disk this works, here is the relevant part from the
kickstart file (I shortened the name of the volume group)
...
zerombr
clearpart --none --initlabel
part /boot --fstype="xfs" --label=boot --onpart=vda1
part pv.00 --fstype="lvmpv" --onpart=vda2 --noformat
volgroup v --noformat
logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=wurzel --vgname=v --useexisting
logvol /home --fstype=ext4 --name=home --vgname=v --noformat
...
you see, / will be reformatted, /boot will be reformatted, but /home
will not.
Now a machine with md raid 1. I tried the following.
...
#zerombr
#clearpart --none --initlabel
part raid.01 --onpart vda1 --noformat
part raid.02 --onpart vdb1 --noformat
raid /boot --fstype xfs --label boot --level 1 --device md0 --noformat
part raid.11 --onpart vda2 --noformat
part raid.12 --onpart vdb2 --noformat
raid pv.00 --level 1 --device md1 --noformat
volgroup v --noformat
logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=wurzel --vgname=v --useexisting
logvol /home --fstype=ext4 --name=home --vgname=v --noformat
...
But I get
...
02:54:21,069 ERR anaconda: storage configuration failed: The following
problem occurred on line 6 of the kickstart file:
No preexisting RAID device with the name "0" was found.
...
What is wrong? I really want preserve data and only wipe system.
