Sorry - I did not include that I am actually "updating" a system from C6 to C7 and it has an existing RAID /dev/md0 and /dev/md1. Hit send to quick.

I am using a kickstart file for CentOS 7

It is erroring out on the --useexisting.

The exact text is: RAID volume "0" specified with "--useexisting" does not exist.

What did I do wrong?

It still needs to know what partitions are being used for that device. So it is parsing --useexisting as the drives which make up md0

I am guessing the syntax is supposed to be:

part raid.0011 --usepart=/dev/sda1 part raid.0012 --usepart=/dev/sdb1

raid / --device=md0 --fstype="xfs" --level=1 --useexisting raid.0011 raid.0012

This will still reformat the raid device from the man page:

--useexisting - Use an existing RAID device and reformat it.

The exact text is: RAID volume "0" specified with "--useexisting" does not exist.
