In the pvcreate documentation, I just came across Aye, I had used the --useexisting option with the double-hyphen. > Here’s something else to try: > > echo "part pv.01 --onpart sdb --grow" >> /tmp/custom-part > echo "volgroup rootvg /dev/sdb pv.01" >> /tmp/custom-part > > If kickstart refuses to create a partition on sdb, you will have to do something like > > lvm pvcreate /dev/sdb > lvm vgcreate rootvg /dev/sdb > echo "logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=rootvg --size=4096 --useexisting" >> /tmp/custom-part This seems to have worked for the RHEL 6 installer. RHEL 5.5 still barfs on this saying that no VG exists with the name "rootvg" ... I have filed a BZ with this as a feature request. I hope this gets added at some point. It should be fairly trivial to do.
