Subject: issue with cobbler snippet not working since we started using OEL and
RHEL 5.7
We have a very simple snippet that helps cobbler partition our servers during a
kickstart. This was working with no issues for 4.8 and 5.4 till we recently
starting moving our systems to 5.7. Now we get the same error with every
kickstart. Any advice or suggestions for better options are more than welcome.
I am stuck.
Thanks
Ed
I see the following printed to the screen during a kickstart
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pykickstart/parser.py", line 1128, in
readKickstart fh = open(file)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/partitions' install existed
abnormally [1/1]
Below is the snippet
%include /tmp/partitions
%pre
LIST=/tmp/drives
cmd="list-harddrives"
$cmd > $LIST
cchk=`awk '/^cciss/ {print $1}' $LIST|head -1`
schk=`awk '/^sda/ {print $1}' $LIST|head -1`
if [ -z "$schk" -a -z "$cchk" ]; then
echo "No HP or SAN attached disks found; exiting."
exit 1
fi
if [ -n "$cchk" ]; then
REST="$cchk"
else
REST="$schk"
fi
if [ -n "$schk" ]; then
BOOT="$schk"
else
BOOT="$cchk"
fi
#export BOOT REST
cat << EOP > /tmp/partitions
bootloader --location=mbr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part / --fstype=ext3 --size=6144 --ondisk=$BOOT
part /opt --fstype=ext3 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=$REST
part /var --fstype=ext3 --size=2048 --ondisk=$BOOT
part /tmp --fstype=ext3 --size=1024 --ondisk=$REST
part swap --size=2048 --ondisk=$REST
EOP
Add this to the top of your %pre, then look at the /tmp/ks-pre.log file:
exec 1>/tmp/ks-pre.log 2>&1
