RE: Crete Volgroup from anaconda ks using the whole disk

Like this?

#Clean install, remove all exisiting partitions
clearpart --all --initlabel

#create partitions for boot and swap
part /boot 	--fstype ext3	--size=100	--ondisk=sda

#This is a cheat to allow the partition for the logical volume to grow and consume the rest of the disk

part pv.0  	--size=1 --encrypted --passphrase=PASSPHRASE --grow --ondisk=sda

part pv.1  	--size=1 --encrypted --passphrase=PASSPHRASE --grow --ondisk=sdb

#create volume group vg0
#then create logical volumes for root, home, and log
volgroup vg0 pv.0
logvol   /		--fstype=ext4   --name=lv_root	--vgname=vg0	--size=10000
logvol  swap  		--fstype=swap	--name=lv_swap	--vgname=vg0	--size=4096
logvol	 /home		--fstype=ext4	--name=lv_home	--vgname=vg0	--size=1000	--grow
logvol	 /var/log	--fstype=ext4	--name=lv_log	--vgname=vg0	--size=5000

volgroup vg1 pv.1
logvol	 /var/lib/mysql	--fstype=ext4	--name=lv_lib	--vgname=vg1	--size=85000
logvol	 /var/files	--fstype=ext4	--name=lv_data	--vgname=vg1	--size=20000	--grow

Subject: Crete Volgroup from anaconda ks using the whole disk
 
Hi all,

Has someone managed to create a volume group from a kickstart that uses 
the whole disk and not a partition ?

I tried to create the pv, vg and lv from a pre script and then use the 
--useexisting flag for logvol and anaconda complains about the vg is not 
created and I guess is because I didn't use the volgroup command in the 
partitioning section.
If I use the volgroup tag with --useexisting in the partitioning section 
I'm forced to use a list of partitions that is what I'm triying to 
avoid....

So any suggestions?

Thanks
