[SCore-users-jp] [SCore-users] EIT partitions

[Nick Birkett]

Dear Score developers.

We have some suggestions to improve EIT.

Currently the EIT generated kickstart files do no specify exact disk 
partitions (eg hda3, sdb2, etc).

The problem is that  the compute node /etc/fstab files are not identical
even if the hardware is the same.

Usually this means that  the swap, tmp and var partitions are different on 
different compute nodes which makes doing global changes (eg adding extra
mount points/mount options) difficult.

Also some of our users require 2 hard disks in each compute node with the
second disk set up in a special way (eg striped or mirrored with first disk).

Currently the EIT kickstart files will add system partitions to all available 
hard disks (eg / on disk 1, var of disk2 etc).

 It would be nice to specify to add system partitions only to eg the first 
disk.

I think RedHat kickstart has an option to specify disks. I don't know if this
is easy to add to the EIT Anaconda script ?

Thanks,

Nick
