Howdy,

The default partitioning scheme appears to be:

swap /boot / small amount of space /home remainder of space.

Is there any way via kickstart to have it just create swap with the recommended size, /boot, and then just / with the remainder without manually specifying the names of the lvs/vgs etc?

I figured there would be an autopart -atomic option but that doesn't seem to exist.

Where'd you get the kickstart? You can certainly set it up any way you want, though a large /home seems reasonable if you've only got one drive, unless you want /boot, swap, and /. Btw, the old received wisdom was that swap should be 2-2.5 times RAM; for some years now, though, it's been just 2G, and leave it at that.

I just used the 'autopart' command in the kickstart and it automatically put most of the storage in /home.

I believe in CentOS 5 the autopart command just did swap /boot and /

I realize I can manually partition all 60 of these servers but I'm trying to avoid that also like I said I would prefer not to set the lv/vg names in the kickstart..

Would've been cool if you could just do autopart -atomic like you can with Ubuntu.

Thanks, -Drew

So you don't want to use the part command? There you don't have to tell which partition - this is optional.
