Bug Description

I know this is a limitation of the partman tool used by kickseed and that it may take some time to fix but nonetheless, I think it would be a nice addition to kickstart.

I can work-around this at the moment by adding the following to my ks.cfg so I guess this is low priority.
(suggestions on how to do what I'm doing in a better way welcome, please add a comment to this bug - its a good source of info for workarounds for now). Note, since parted claims to not support ext3 directly, I'm creating an ext2 filesystem and then converting to ext3 with tune2fs afterwards.

%post --interpreter=/bin/bash
parted -s /dev/sdb mklabel msdos
sudo parted -s /dev/sdb mkpartfs primary ext2 0 1000GB
tune2fs -j /dev/sdb1
mkdir /webstar2
echo "/dev/sdb1 /webstar2 ext3 noatime 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
