Installation guide

md7, and each may only be used once.
--bytes-per-inode=
Specifies the size of inodes on the filesystem to be made on the RAID device. Not all
filesystems support this option, so it is silently ignored for those cases.
--spares=
Specifies the number of spare drives allocated for the RAID array. Spare drives are used to
rebuild the array in case of drive failure.
--fstype=
Sets the file system type for the RAID array. Valid values are ext2, ext3, swap, and vfat.
--fsoptions=
Specifies a free form string of options to be used when mounting the filesystem. This string
will be copied into the /etc/fstab file of the installed system and should be enclosed in
quotes.
--noformat
Use an existing RAID device and do not format the RAID array.
--useexisting
Use an existing RAID device and reformat it.
The following example shows how to create a RAID level 1 partition for /, and a RAID level
5 for /usr, assuming there are three SCSI disks on the system. It also creates three swap
partitions, one on each drive.
part raid.01 --size=60 --ondisk=sda
part raid.02 --size=60 --ondisk=sdb
part raid.03 --size=60 --ondisk=sdc
part swap --size=128 --ondisk=sda
part swap --size=128 --ondisk=sdb
part swap --size=128 --ondisk=sdc
part raid.11 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda
part raid.12 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb
part raid.13 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdc
raid / --level=1 --device=md0 raid.01 raid.02 raid.03
raid /usr --level=5 --device=md1 raid.11 raid.12 raid.13
For a detailed example of raid in action, refer to Section 4.1, “Advanced Partitioning Ex-
ample”.
reboot (optional)
Reboot after the installation is successfully completed (no arguments). Normally, kickstart
displays a message and waits for the user to press a key before rebooting.
The reboot option is roughly equivalent to the shutdown -r command.
