[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart File - Increase Root Partition Size

[Stefan Bluhm]

Hello Sulove, 

as far as I am aware, by default on RHEL it is using the full HDD as root after a /boot and a swap default. 

This is how I do custom partition my servers: 

Go to Systems --> Kickstart --> Profiles --> <Label> --> System Details --> Partitioning --> Partition Details 

Enter 

part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 
part pv.01 --grow --size=1 
part swap --size=1000 --maxsize=2000 
volgroup vg_main --pesize=4096 pv.01 
logvol /var/log --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_log --vgname=vg_main --size=1000 
logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_main --size=1 --grow 
logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_main --size=2016 


This creates: 
- /boot 500MB as ext4 
- swap between 1GB to 2GB (I think this is autoscaled to memory 1:1) 
- /log 1GB as ext4 
- / [root] for the rest 

I hope this helps. 

Best wishes, 

Stefan

Betreff: [Spacewalk-list] Kickstart File - Increase Root Partition Size 



Hello, 



I’m looking to increase the size of the root partition in my Spacewalk kickstart file to 20GB. It is currently defaulted to 8GB when I boot up a new VM based off the kickstart file. The kickstart is also set to autopart –type=lvm. I am using Centos 7. I haven’t found how to increase the size of the root partition while still using the autopart option in the kickstart from my research online. 



Is this possible? 



Thank you, 

Sulove
