Ugo,
hmmmm at first i was saying to myself, well sudo said that he knew about the riserfs support in centosplus directory but that he cant do that with kickstart. Now i see what you are talking about, use kickstart and then do a yum update kernel(for riserfs) and then reboot. ah i see said the blind man to the deaf man.
Keep in mind that the kernel used during the kickstart process (used to be called the BOOT kernel) has to support the file system type, otherwise you can't create the file system(s) during the kick process. Someone recommended installing a kernel that supports the file system then do mkfs using that kernel after the kick, but this seems kind of kludgy.
Why would you need to create a FS if it is an upgrade?
Because we currently add about 5-10 new servers a month. Both upgrade and new installation have to be considered.
But, in the case of an install, you cannot create the filesystem after the install?
You can by doing it yourself or with a script. Anything is doable -- just trying to determine the best way. Everything else seems kludgy unless it's integrated into Anaconda/kickstart.
