Hi!

I think that your problem is here

volgroup v pv.00 --noformat

This gives another error

... Members may not be specified for preexisting volgroup ...

This is not documented in the Installation Guide, but at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda it is stated

... --noformat Use an existing volume group. Do not specify partitions when using this option. ...

Also note that this line works for the one disk install!

Thanks anyways, Markus

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.
