Hi, I have asked today that raid0 (striping) is possible on installation procedure. It seems that there is no way of doing this with LVM. But I have found out that I can do it using softraid.. Here is my kickstart configuration for the sake of archiving so anyone can benefit from it: I create a /boot partition using raid1 (md0) (mirroring) and create a LVM on the top of a RAID0 (md1) and the partitions goes in to that VG.. By the way I really want to hear feedbacks maybe I am missing something or maybe I am totally following the wrong path ;) Additionally is there any way to change blocksize for a partition using kickstart? Say in my example I want to format /sql using 8192 block size. part raid.7 --size=1000 --ondisk=sda part raid.8 --size=1000 --ondisk=sdb part raid.12 --size=100 --grow --ondisk=sdb part raid.11 --size=100 --grow --ondisk=sda raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 --device=md0 raid.7 raid.8 raid pv.13 --fstype "physical volume (LVM)" --device=md1 --level=RAID0 raid.11 raid.12 volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.13 logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=8196 logvol /sql --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol03 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=20480 logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1024 logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol02 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=6400 --grow -- Omer Faruk Sen http://www.faruk.net
