How to specify the reserved blocks percentage for a hard disk in a kickstart installation

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • How can I specify the reserved blocks percentage for a hard disk in a kickstart installation?

  • Is it possible to partition filesystems with the '-m 1' option (see man mke2fs) in kickstart? Current partitioning scheme is as shown below :

    zerombr no 
    clearpart --all 
    part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=128 --ondisk=dasda --asprimary 
    part pv.6 --size=100 --grow --ondisk=dasda --asprimary 
    volgroup vg00 --pesize=32768 pv.6 
    logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=lvol02 --vgname=vg00 --size=1024 
    logvol /usr --fstype ext3 --name=lvol01 --vgname=vg00 --size=2048 
    logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=lvol00 --vgname=vg00 --size=576 
    logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=lvol05 --vgname=vg00 --size=512 
    logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --name=lvol03 --vgname=vg00 --size=1504 
    logvol /opt --fstype ext3 --name=lvol04 --vgname=vg00 --size=128
