Hi List,
I use a kickstart file to install my operating systems. In the kickstart file, I put the clearpart options to erase all my partition. But the install failed because the partition aren't erased. Does someone have the same issue ?

Which clearpart parameters do you use? Something like that? clearpart --drives=sda --all Personally I use a %pre script to manually wipe+partition+format...

I used this on CentOS 5 without any problems : clearpart --all --initlabel
I also use an pre script to detect the number of drives on the server

if [ $numd -ge 2 ]; then cat << EOF >> /tmp/partinfo
Did you check the partinfo file to see if the variables are correctly replaced?
In Python,Perl or Shell? I'm searching how to wipe all drives with parted or fdisk.
In an external shell script. I just do a simple dd (I still use msdos partitioing): dd if=/dev/zero of=$DEVICE bs=512 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1 Then I use sfdisk with values calculated for the correct stripe size depending on the server RAID. Then I format with a stripe-width and optionally -m 0. I only let the ks do the mounting. Disclaimer: did not test with CentOS 6 yet...
clearpart --all --initlabel
needed since you already put one in your partinfo file?

You're right, I have an error is this file, with /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda
part /var/spool/squid --fstype=ext3 --ondisk=/dev/sda1 --grow --size-1

I don't think so. I put it twice only to test.

The list-harddrives results change on CentOS 6. It show all disks and partition. In C5, it only show all drives.
