This problem occurred in both CentOS 5.2 and the new (awesome!) 5.3: I'm using a SuperMicro motherboard with a 6 port NVidia SATA controller on the motherboard and an 8 port SuperMicro Marvel controller in a slot. In my kickstart file, I have part raid.01 . --ondisk=sda . part raid.02 . --ondisk=sdb . part raid.03 . --ondisk=sdc . part raid.04 . --ondisk=sdd . . raid / --level=RAID1 --fstype=ext3 --device=md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03 raid.04 When I only have 4 drives installed in the system, this works fine. However, whenever I have more than 4 drives, it seems that anaconda ignores my --ondisk, and lays out /dev/md0 somewhat randomly across the drives. In particular, with 8 drives (sda..sdh), with the exact same kickstart file, it lays out /dev/md0 on drives sda, sdb, sdg and sdh. with 10 drives (sda..sdj), with the exact same kickstart file, it lays out /dev/md0 on drives sda, sdh, sdi, sdj. Does this make sense to anybody? Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks! Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
