Red Hat ENTREPRISE LINUX 5 Installation Manual page 327

• --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.
• --grow= — Tells the logical volume to grow to fill available space (if any), or up to the
maximum size setting.
• --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= — Determine 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 (optional)
This command controls the error logging of anaconda during installation. It has no effect on the
installed system.
• --host= — Send logging information to the given remote host, which must be running a
syslogd process configured to accept remote logging.
• --port= — If the remote syslogd process uses a port other than the default, it may be
specified with this option.
• --level= — One of debug, info, warning, error, or critical.
Specify the minimum level of messages that appear on tty3. All messages will still be sent to the
log file regardless of this level, however.
mediacheck (optional)
If given, this will force anaconda to run mediacheck on the installation media. This command
requires that installs be attended, so it is disabled by default.
monitor (optional)
If the monitor command is not given, anaconda will use X to automatically detect your monitor
settings. Please try this before manually configuring your monitor.
• --hsync= — Specifies the horizontal sync frequency of the monitor.
• --monitor= — Use specified monitor; monitor name should be from the list of monitors in /
usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB from the hwdata package. The list of monitors can also be found
on the X Configuration screen of the Kickstart Configurator. This is ignored if --hsync or --vsync
is provided. If no monitor information is provided, the installation program tries to probe for it
automatically.
