Re: Using kickstart to resize existing LVM partitions during a rebuild

Hi,

I'm back at work today so have had more of a chance to play around with 
this. I have added the following to the beginning of the %pre section;

/usr/sbin/lvm lvmresize -L30G /dev/mapper/ifp-slash
/usr/sbin/resize2fs -f /dev/ifp/slash 30G

and I'm including the following partition information;

echo "# Create Logical Volumes with a growing /scratch partition 
generated in %pre " > ${LOGVOL}
echo "logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=slash --vgname=ifp --size=${SLASH} 
--useexisting" >> ${LOGVOL}
echo "logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=var --vgname=ifp --size=${VAR} 
--useexisting" >> ${LOGVOL}
echo "logvol /var/log --fstype ext3 --name=log --vgname=ifp 
--size=${LOG} --useexisting" >> ${LOGVOL}
echo "logvol swap --fstype swap --name=swap --vgname=ifp --recommended 
--useexisting" >> ${LOGVOL}
echo "logvol /scratch --fstype ext3 --name=scratch --vgname=ifp 
--size=10 --grow --noformat" >> ${LOGVOL}

where the disk sizes are;

SLASH="30720"
VAR="2048"
LOG="${VAR}"
SCRATCH="1024"

Thanks,

Barry
