This patch includes having each existing subvolume specified using the UUID of it parent BTRFS volume. The patches are available as part of bugzilla report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892747 Each patch can be applied to anaconda in a git repository and used to create an updates disk for testing. Therefore I have created two versions of the patch: Fedora 19 with anaconda-19.30.13-1 and Fedora 20-beta-TC2 with anaconda-20.22-1. The updates disk for Fedora 20 was build on a Fedora 20 TC1+ hardware system and then tested installing on kvm virtuals with F20-beta-TC2+all-repos. That is all I can say is ... it works. I sure would like to see this in Fedora 20!! As I have currently implemented things, the patch changed things so that either --noformat or --useexisting can be specified for an existing BTRFS volume with the same results. For an existing subvolume if --noformat is specified, then the patch adds code so that that subvolume will be added to the anaconda created /etc/fstab with the UUID of the subvolume's BTRFS volume. For an existing subvolume if --useexisting is specified, then you get exactly the same thing that you get right now ... nothing! Proposal: As I examined the code, it became obvious to me that it would be easy to add the equivalent of "reformat" for a BTRFS subvolume by simply deleting the current subvolume of the specified name and then recreating it. Not only that but if "--useexisting" is used to specify that functionality, this would be consistent with what is done for logical volumes where --noformat is used to mean "leave it alone: and --useexisting to mean reformat. I do not like cross-posts so I will be posting a duplicate of this message to the anaconda mailing list.

The reason is that the pykickstart package sets both --noformat and --useexisting if either --noformat or --useexisting is specified. Therefore, you cannot differentiate between these two parameters until the pykickstart package is changed ... and, this will need some regression testing because a bunch of packages depend on pykickstart. So, I have currently reworked my patch for supporting btrfs subvolumes being added to /etc/fstab so that it uses --noformat. For testing purposes, I have added some code just before a new btrfs subvolume create request is done that, if (and only if) this is a subvol operation AND the mountpoint == "/", then check if the subvolume already exists and, if it does, request destruction ... works just fine. Occurs to me that an interesting option for the GUI interface might be to add some type of checkbox for a subvolume which says to just delete and recreate (although I think you can pretty much do that anyway). If there is interest, I can post the code.

Then I've overridden the default __str__() method to print the includes at the top. My trouble is that when SNAKE processes the template the following happens: 1) The template is executed and a string with the ks.cfg contents is returned. At this stage the custom %includes are present 2) Then SNAKE calls parser.readKickstartFromString() where: handlerclass = pykickstart.parser.returnClassForVersion(version) handler = handlerclass() parser = pykickstart.parser.KickstartParser(handler) 3) When finally returning the kickstart string SNAKE does: return str(handler) As far as I can see in pykickstart's code the %include directives are not stored anywhere (in case of not following the includes). Then when returning the object as string they are just skipped, only commands like part, user, vnc, etc. are returned. Is there any particular reason why %includes are not handled like other commands/sections in case of no follow ? Any objections/guides if I make a patch to store them and be able to print them in the output ?

One aspect of this is to support adding existing BTRFS subvolumes to /etc/fstab ... just add them, nothing else. A second aspect to support recreating an existing BTRFS subvolume. That is, deleting (destroying) the subvolume and then recreating it with the same name. Both of these capabilities currently exist if you are doing a non-kickstart GUI install (probably a text install too but I have not tested that). Yes, I consider that the second "aspect" is the BTRFS "equivalent" of reformatting since it has the effect of reclaiming the spece previously used by that subvolume and then using that same subvolume name. I do not see this as a big deal. Currently, for logical volumes, --noformat is used to specify that a logical volume should just be mounted and --useexisting is used to specify that a logical volume should be reformatted (and mounted) before being used. While I am not oppose to adding new options to the btrfs command, I thought that using more or less the same meaning as for logical volumnes made some sense: --noformat: just mount and add to /etc/fstab; --useexisting: destroy and recreate the subvolume. If it would make everyone happy, I could live with having a new --recreate option. David Lehman and I have been having a spirited discussion about this on bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892747 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019510 I thought it might make sense to see what others might think about it.

In-Reply-To: <52655A65.6050804@damascusgrp.com> References: <52655A65.6050804@damascusgrp.com> Message-ID: <52655B16.9060509@damascusgrp.com> Two questions, related to partitioning in F18 kickstarts: 1. Why does the GUI still pop up a window asking if I want to initialize the drives when I've already included "clearpart --all --initlabel" in my kickstart? Is there a way to stop this? 2. What's the best way to trigger manual partitioning from a kickstart? We're a cobbler-based shop and for 90% of our systems, our cobbler kickstart templates do the trick. But every now and again, we have one that has a strange number of drives or something, and it's not worth it to us to script all those. We'd rather just manually partition them and move on.

I blieve you need something like: clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda,sdb assuming the system has two drives sda and sdb.
