@Alan, Yes you're absolutely right. My mistake to refer it as a kickstart. I have always assumed 'kickstart' as a generic term for all auto installation files, like autoyast. Learned my lesson when I first played with spacewalk and I was wondering why the kickstart file option was greyed out for SuSe distro :P. Thanks.
@Drew, Originally the value for /opt is 30GB. I modified it to 36GB, to see if it changes. No go. The setup is 2 drives, each with the size of 300GB, configured as RAID1 (hardware RAID). Now come to think about it, not long ago I added a post-script in the autoyast file, but it never got executed. The changes must have not been picked up at all. So I guess it's not just a partition problem. Any changes just won't take effect. I'll do more testing when I have the chance. Thanks.
