Hey,
If I take swap out of the LVM section and create a regular partition for swap it fails.
Maybe you have some bad white space in there. Accidentally quoted some control character or such.
I'd wipe those lines out in vi and re-type them to be certain.

Hey,
Can anyone tell me why option 1 works and option 2
fails ? I know I
need swap and such, however in trouble shooting this issue
I trimmed
down my config.
It fails on trying to format my logical volume, because
the mount point
does not exist (/dev/volgroup/logvol)
It seems that with option 2, the partitions are created
and LVM is setup
correctly. However the volgroup / logvolume was not made
active, so my
/dev/volgroup/logvol did not exist.
Running `lvm lvchange -a -y pathname` from with in the shell after anaconda failed made the volgroup / logvol active. Which
would allow the
format command to complete.
Option 1: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol swap --fstype swap --name=os_swap_logvol
--vgname=os_volgroup01 --recommended
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root
--vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow
Option 2: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 part pv.os --size=10000 --grow --maxsize=10000 --asprimary volgroup os_volgroup01 pv.os logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=os_root
--vgname=os_volgroup01 --size=1024 --grow
I do this through kickstart and here's what I use:
bootloader --location=mbr zerombr yes clearpart --linux --initlabel --drives=sda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=128 --ondisk=sda --asprimary part pv.0 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda volgroup CentOS --pesize=32768 pv.0 logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=CentOS
--size=4096 --grow --maxsize=16384
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=CentOS
--size=1024 --grow --maxsize=2048
I haven't tried without swap and I think anaconda expects
there to be a swap definition
in kickstart, so that might be it, lv wasn't activated
because swap was missing.
Best I can think of.
