Installation guide

The langsupport keyword is deprecated and its use will cause an error message to be
printed to the screen and installation to halt. Instead of using the langsupport keyword, you
should now list the support package groups for all languages you want supported in the
%packages section of your kickstart file. For instance, adding support for French means
you should add the following to %packages:
@french-support
logvol ( o p t io n al)
Create a logical volume for Logical Volume Management (LVM) with the syntax:
logvol <mntpoint> --vgname=<name> --size=<size> --name=<name> <options>
The options are as follows:
--noformat — Use an existing logical volume and do not format it.
--useexisting — Use an existing logical volume and reformat it.
--fstype= — Sets the file system type for the logical volume. Valid values are xfs,
ext2, ext3, ext4, swap, vfat, and hfs.
--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.
--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.
--size= — The minimum size of the logical volume in megabytes. Specify an integer
value here, and do not append the number with MB. If the logical volume is set to grow,
the minimum size must be provided.
--grow= — Tells the logical volume to grow to fill available space (if any), or up to the
maximum size setting, while conforming to other limitations.
--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= — D etermine 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 ( op t io n al)
This command controls the error logging of anaconda during installation. It has no effect
on the installed system.
