Installation guide
--fstype=
Sets the file system type for the logical volume. Valid values are ext2, ext3, swap, and vfat.
--fsoptions=
Sets the file system type for the logical volume. Valid values are ext2, ext3, swap, and vfat.
--bytes-per-inode=
Specifies the size of inodes on the filesystem to be made on the logical volume. Not all
filesystems support this option, so it is silently ignored for those cases.
--grow=
Tells the logical volume to grow to fill available space (if any), or up to the maximum size
setting.
--maxsize=
The maximum size in megabytes when the logical volume is set to grow. Specify an integer
value here, and do not append the number with MB.
--recommended=
Determine the size of the logical volume automatically.
--percent=
Specify the size of the logical volume as a percentage of available space in the volume
group.
Create the partition first, create the logical volume group, and then create the logical
volume. For example:
part pv.01 --size 3000
volgroup myvg pv.01
logvol / --vgname=myvg --size=2000 --name=rootvol
logging (optional)
This command controls the error logging of anaconda during installation. It has no effect on
the installed system.
--host=
Send logging information to the given remote host, which must be running a syslogd pro-
cess configured to accept remote logging.
--port=
If the remote syslogd process uses a port other than the default, it may be specified with
this option.
--level=
One of debug, info, warning, error, or critical.
Specify the minimum level of messages that appear on tty3. All messages will still be sent
to the log file regardless of this level, however.
mediacheck (optional)
If given, this will force anaconda to run mediacheck on the installation media. This com-
mand requires that installs be attended, so it is disabled by default.
