RE: Can't create LVM PV's in text mode install

["Collins, Kevin (MindWorks)" <KCollins chevrontexaco com>]

I seem to remember that (in RH9, at least) you can't do any LVM from
text mode, only from GUI or kickstart.

Here is a sample from one of my kickstart files (partitioning RAID disk
/dev/ida/c0d0):

part /boot --size 100 --asprimary --ondisk ida/c0d0
part pv.01 --size 8400 --ondisk ida/c0d0 --grow
volgroup vg00 pv.01

logvol / --vgname=vg00 --size 200 --name=lvol1
logvol swap --vgname=vg00 --size 1500 --name=lvol2
logvol /usr --vgname=vg00 --size 2000 --name=lvol3
logvol /var --vgname=vg00 --size 500 --name=lvol4
logvol /tmp --vgname=vg00 --size 300 --name=lvol5

>From what I can determine, the "pv.01" in the 2nd line is just a
"logical name" that kickstart uses for the PV during the kickstart
process...

Hi,

Is it just me or can one not setup LVM PV's and make mountpoints on
those
PV's during install using text mode / serial console?

Seems like I can kickstart this dude, but I have some specific
partitioning needs for this machine and am not fluent enough with
kickstart to be sure that the disks will be in the right place.

Thanks,
