Hi
I'm trying to setup a ks profile which must work for both new and
"used" hard drives.
The idea is to have one layout that could be deployed on
"non-compliant" disks, and to keep the one existing on "compliant" ones.
My way to workarround this could be:
Examine sfdisk -l /dev/firstharddrive
If part order and types are "compliant", then keep them, and write
a /tmp/partinfo with "--onpart".
This second option could arise problems I've encountered (not
tested on RHEL/CentOS 5.1) regarding having an already defined VG with
LV's I don't want anymore as I'm reinstalling. (Which I could bypass
zeroing the LVM partition)
If not, write a new layout to /tmp/partinfo and include it.
Have you dealt with this in the past? something you could provide
about what to do and what to avoid?
Regards
Pablo
