Why does the --percent option in kickstart not properly utilize the available free space in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7?
Issue
- Why does the
--percentoption in kickstart not properly utilize the available free space in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7? - Kickstart partitioning is as follows.
part /boot --asprimary --fstype ext4 --label boot --size=500
part pv.01 --size 32768
volgroup vg_sys --pesize=32768 pv.01
logvol / --fstype ext4 --name rootfs --vgname=vg_sys --size 250 --grow --percent=20
logvol /home --fstype ext4 --name home --vgname=vg_sys --size 100 --grow --percent=10
logvol /opt --fstype ext4 --name opt --vgname=vg_sys --size 1 --grow --percent=10
logvol /tmp --fstype ext4 --name tmp --vgname=vg_sys --size 1 --grow --percent=10
logvol /var --fstype ext4 --name var --vgname=vg_sys --size 384 --grow --percent=30
logvol /var/log --fstype ext4 --name log --vgname=vg_sys --size 1 --grow --percent=10
logvol /var/log/audit --fstype ext4 --name audit --vgname=vg_sys --size 1 --grow --percent=10
logvol swap --fstype swap --name swap --vgname=vg_sys --size 4096
- With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 final partitioning after installation is:
[root@]# vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg_sys 1 8 0 wz--n- 31.97g 320.00m
[root@]# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
audit vg_sys -wi-ao---- 2.69g
home vg_sys -wi-ao---- 2.78g
log vg_sys -wi-ao---- 2.69g
opt vg_sys -wi-ao---- 2.69g
rootfs vg_sys -wi-ao---- 5.62g
swap vg_sys -wi-ao---- 4.00g
tmp vg_sys -wi-ao---- 2.69g
var vg_sys -wi-ao---- 8.50g
- Starting form Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 (6.8) with the same snippet one gets completely different partitioning schema:
[root@]# vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg_sys 1 8 0 wz--n- 31.97g 9.25g
[root@]# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
audit vg_sys -wi-ao---- 992.00m
home vg_sys -wi-ao---- 1.59g
log vg_sys -wi-ao---- 1.09g
opt vg_sys -wi-ao---- 1.34g
rootfs vg_sys -wi-ao---- 4.00g
swap vg_sys -wi-ao---- 4.00g
tmp vg_sys -wi-ao---- 1.22g
var vg_sys -wi-ao---- 8.50g
- Why is this changed?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 and 6.8
- Kickstart installation
