(been a while since i've used fedora extensively, am now switching
back so first few questions might be on the simple side.)
first, during an f19 install, i chose to do an LVM install and
explicitly selected a small number of logical volumes to create but i
wanted the single volume group itself to encompass the entire
remaining 300G of the hard drive, so i could later just "lvcreate"
more logical volumes in the free space in that volume group.
instead, while i *thought* i had specified that i wanted the volume
group to max out on the hard drive, it was created only large enough
to hold the fixed-size logical volumes i selected. so at this point, i
would have to create another PV for the rest of the hard drive, and
extend the volume group to encompass that. what should i have selected
during install to specify that i wanted the volume group to consist of
a single PV that took up the entire remaining part of the hard drive?
and, second, once the system was running, i checked out the alleged
kickstart file that was created that would represent the installation,
and for the disk layout, all i saw was the directive:
autopart --type=lvm
i was expecting to see a more detailed breakdown of the way i defined
my logical volumes -- is that not included in the auto-generated
kickstart file?
thanks muchly.
