The "set" in the partitioning snippet is not a cheetah macro command, it's a shell command. The partitioning snippet gets executed as a %pre section in the kickstart.

I tried doing that and it says that set is not a recognized command. I put a # in front like I did for the other set and now it can't find the kickstart file. Not sure if it's related or not.
Also, how do you run list-harddrives-stub manually? It doesn't show up as a command on my system.

If you install anaconda and run list-harddrives-stub manually, you'll see what it's doing.
Basically, it returns something like this. sda 1907729.08594 sdb 1907729.08594 sdc 1907729.08594
the set $(list-harddrives) bit of code, assigns these values to the $1 $2 $3 ... variables. So when you need to refer to the drives in the partitioning snippet code, you can just refer to the first drive and $d1, then second as $d2 etc.
Remember to escape the "$" in the snippet tho..
for example the snippet code would look like this.... set $(list-harddrives) let numd=$#/2 # Number of harddrives d1=$1 # Device for first drive d2=$3 # Device for first drive d3=$5 # Device for first drive
etc...
Nice thing about this is it lets you make some decisions based on the existence of the "d" variables. So if "$d3" exists on a certain machine, add it to the config, otherwise, don't include it's partitioning info etc. Quite handy
Hope this helps

Can you explain that in more detail? I'm not quite sure I follow what it's supposed to do. Do I continue with $3 for the second drive and $4 for the second drives size?
Thanks.

Why don't you use:
set $(list-harddrives) let numd=$#/2 # Number of harddrives d1=$1 # Device for first drive S1=$2 # size for first drive
and then "--ondisk=$d1" ??

Are you sure there /is/ a /dev/sda? If it’s an HP, try "cciss/c0d0".

How do you configure multiple disks when not using raid? I'm trying to specify --ondisk=sda and cobbler keeps giving me an error saying bad keyword '/dev/sda'
Any suggestions?

Personally I would just use a tag and in the partitioning section test if that tag is set or not. It gets a bit more interesting when you start merging roles so keeping each of the tags as atomic as possible is useful. But I have had to do this when doing bake offs with different raid configurations in the past and it works well.

I have a blade server that I'm building using cobbler to be a hadoop
cluster. Since the data nodes like seeing the individual drives, I'm going to partition those differently than the other nodes.
Is there a recommended method to handling the parititions?
Everything else about the kickstart will be the same.
Thanks.
