Hi all,
I'm trying to do a kickstart on some machines that have 2x simple scsi disks on sda and sdb and 2x 3ware RAID arrays on sdc and sdd. I want anaconda to leave sdc and sdd alone, since they have data on them and anaconda crashes when it tries to write partition tables to them anyway. The partition part of my ks.cfg looks like this:
--
#Leave the 3ware disks alone clearpart --drives sda,sdb --initlabel
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 200 --ondisk sda part swap --size 1024 --ondisk sda part raid.01 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sda
part /boot.spare --fstype ext3 --size 200 --ondisk sdb part swap --size 1024 --ondisk sdb part raid.02 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sdb
raid / --level=1 --device=md0 --fstype ext3 raid.01 raid.02
--
but anaconda still insists on trying to touch the partition tables on sdc and sdd. I know this because they are each larger than 1TB and anaconda seems to crash on partitions larger than 1TB. (It gives a nice error message about how it couldn't "save my changes" to sdc/sdd, etc. Then it crashes.)
Anyone had any experience with this? Things I have tried so far: "append sdc=none sdd=none" (still complains) and "rmmod 3w-xxxx" in %pre (works but pops up a dialog first, so we're "interactive").
Thanks in advance for any ideas...
