And now I'll answer my own question, because I figured it out about 10 seconds after sending this e-mail. The problem was this parameter: <size>max</size> Which I used when defining the size of the Logical Volume. Unfortunately, this isn't a supported behavior. You have to specify a size in the standard <size>XXXgb</size> format. Which makes sense, but it would be nice to be able to do a <size>max</size> (if anyone out there who's reading this happens to feel like making that happen :-) - Ian -----Original Message----- From: Marlier, Ian [mailto:ian.marlier@studentuniverse.com] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 1:37 PM To: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Subject: [suse-autoinstall] autoyast2 and LVM creation I found a message about this exact problem from way back (7 April 2004 -- http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2004-Apr/0026.html), but there wasn't an answer to it. I'm hoping that there might be one now... When running an autoinstall using a control file that has an LVM group configured in it, I consistently get an error that the Logical Volume needs more space during the software selection configuration section. =20 After that message times out, the setup process continues, then halts with an error when it tries to create the Logical Volume. The error in that case is "lvm create_lv invalid parameter". Once the second error comes up, I can manually create the Logical Volume with the standard `lvcreate -n space vg_name` command. I'm using autoyast2, and installing SuSE pro 9.2. The relevant section of the configuration file is this: <drive> <device>/dev/sdc</device> <partitions config:type=3D"list"> <partition> <lvm_group>suvg</lvm_group> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/suvg</device> <is_lvm_vg config:type=3D"boolean">true</is_lvm_vg> <partitions config:type=3D"list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type=3D"symbol">jfs</filesystem> <lv_name>space_lv</lv_name> <mount>/space</mount> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands, e-mail: suse-autoinstall-help@suse.com
