HI all,
I just did a fresh C7 install using kickstart.
fdisk -l /dev/sda shows: # Start End Size Type Name 1 2048 2050047 1000M EFI System EFI System Partition 2 2050048 104450047 48.8G Microsoft basic 3 104450048 112642047 3.9G Linux swap 4 112642048 234440703 58.1G Microsoft basic
What extra do I need to specify in my kickstart so that the "type" above is not Microsoft basic?
For example, currently a line in my kickstart would be: part /home --ondisk=/dev/sda --fstype ext4 --size=58G --asprimary
What is missing so the type is set correctly to linux root or linux home?
Thanks,
Jerry
Hi,

parted /dev/sda print

Results for parted:
parted /dev/sda print Model: ATA KINGSTON SUV5001 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 120GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 1050MB 1049MB fat32 EFI System Partition boot 2 1050MB 53.5GB 52.4GB ext4 3 53.5GB 57.7GB 4194MB linux-swap(v1) 4 57.7GB 120GB 62.4GB ext4
So this shows what I'm expecting. What is the issue with fdisk ???

Hi,
gpt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table is newer partition table format.
fdisk started supporting gpt recently, while parted has better support for gpt.
thanks
