Cannot create an LVM disk layout on top of SW RAID in kickstart 2007-06-06 - By Paul Krizak
Back
On a related note, I'm also bumping into the 256GB logical volume size
limit...and I don't see a way to create a volume group with 16MB extents
in anaconda. Anybody else figured out a way to do this?
At this point I'd actually be fine doing all the partitioning in %pre
and then just instructing anaconda to use the partitions I create, but I
don't know what LVM/partitioning commands are available in BusyBox
inside anaconda.
