A kickstart installation fails when the ignoredisk
--only-use
option is used to point to a multipath
device. This problem occurs because multipath is not started
by the time that the installer searches the multipath map to
match the device.
Rather than use the ignoredisk --only-use
option, specify which drives should not
be used in the partitioning section by using the
ignoredisk --drives
option, as shown in the
following example:
clearpart --all --initlabel ignoredisk --drives=sda,sdb part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 --asprimary --ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904 part / --fstype=ext4 --size=8192 --grow --maxsize=51200 --asprimary --ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904 part swap --size=16384 --asprimary --ondisk=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600144f0cab1f53e000058a15c870904
