Issue
- Why can't I create partitions with btrfs using kickstart in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 ?
- As per the Documentation, using the following kickstart stanza for partitioning, but it leads the installer to
abrtcrash report.
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size 512 --ondisk=sda
part swap --size 1000 --fstype=swap --ondisk=sda
part btrfs.01 --size=6000 --ondisk=sda --grow
btrfs none --data=0 --metadata=1 --label=rhel7 btrfs.01
btrfs / --subvol --name=root LABEL=rhel7
btrfs /home --subvol --name=home rhel7
- The
abrtcrash report is as follows.
