It is a reinstall over an existing system, though I'm pretty sure I did try on a new system as well. The 'clearpart -all' is how you clear partitions with CentOS kickstart? In my SuSE autoyast kickstart file I have this:During the installation I can see that all of the partitions got wiped out, but during the creation, the old values took place.
<initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
## If set to "true", the partition table gets wiped out before AutoYaST starts the partition calculation.On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 9:17 PM, Marold, Drew <drew.marold@bluecoat.com> wrote:_______________________________________________Are you reinstalling over an existing system, or a totally new one ? If the former, does your kickstart include the stanza to remove any existing partitions ?

Subject: [cobbler] Changes in kickstart file do not take effect in Cobbler.
I am using Cobbler to install SLES 11 SP2 and it has been running fine all the while. Recently I modified the kickstart file by changing the size of the root partition from 18GB to 36GB. To my surprise the modification did not take place - Cobbler created a root partition with the size of 18GB. I tried removing the profile, renaming it, but no success.
I am completely stump as to where Cobbler is getting the value 18GB from. Is there some kind of cache that is keeping the old kickstart file somewhere and I need to clear that up first?
The part where I did the modification:
<partition>
<create config:type="boolean">true</create>
<crypt_fs config:type="boolean">false</crypt_fs>
<filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
<format config:type="boolean">true</format>
<fstopt>acl,user_xattr</fstopt>
<loop_fs config:type="boolean">false</loop_fs>
<lv_name>lvroot</lv_name>
<mount>/</mount>
<mountby config:type="symbol">device</mountby>
<partition_id config:type="integer">131</partition_id>
<raid_options/>
<resize config:type="boolean">false</resize>
<size>36GB</size>
</partition>
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
