Issue

  • Why partition in fdisk ends and starts at same cylinder number in kickstart?
  • I have several servers with this kind of partitions:
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1          50      393216   83  Linux
/dev/sda2              50       72825   584565760   8e  Linux LVM
  • The first block of Partition 2 is the last Block of partition 1
  • The partitioning which we use is:
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda
partition /boot --fstype ext3 --size=384 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
partition pv.7 --size=100 --grow --ondisk=sda --asprimary
volgroup vglocal00 pv.7

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
  • kickstart
