Hello,

I'm having trouble performing stateful node install with xCAT-2.15 / centos8.0.1905 x86_64 although I think I followed the same steps which worked for centos7

clearpart --all
zerombr

part /boot --ondisk=/dev/sda --grow --fstype=xfs --label=boot
part swap --ondisk=/dev/sdb --grow --label=swap
part / --ondisk=/dev/sdc --grow --fstype xfs --label=root

bootloader --boot-drive=/dev/sda --location=mbr --append=ipv6.disable=1 biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0

Well, if I comment out the

%include /tmp/partitionfile line inside the

#XCAT_PARTITION_START#
#XCAT_PARTITION_END#

section of the tmpl xCAT template file
and I replace it with the content of my partitionfile, it seems to work...


At the same time, unrelated to this issue, I changed a bit my partition scheme (I wanted to have root filesystem on the raw disk device and not inside a partition), so to be precise, currently :

#clearpart --all --initlabel
#XCAT_PARTITION_START#
#%include /tmp/partitionfile
clearpart --none
part /boot --onpart=sda1
part swap --onpart=sdb
part / --onpart=sdc

bootloader --boot-drive=/dev/sda --location=mbr --append="ipv6.disable=1 biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0"
#XCAT_PARTITION_END#

with the following added to %pre

echo "Creating parts and filesystems..."

echo "Creating /dev/sda1 part for /boot"
parted -s /dev/sda 'mklabel msdos'
parted -s /dev/sda 'mkpart primary 2048s 100%'
parted -s /dev/sda 'set 1 boot on'

echo "Creating xfs filesystem on /dev/sda1 for /boot"
mkfs.xfs -L boot /dev/sda1

echo "Creating xfs filesystem on raw disk /dev/sdb for /"
mkfs.xfs -L root /dev/sdb

echo "Creating swap on raw disk /dev/sdc"
mkswap /dev/sdc


works


but, with the same %pre addition and

#XCAT_PARTITION_START#
%include /tmp/partitionfile
#XCAT_PARTITION_END#

(/tmp/partitionfile having my ks part directives)

it doesn't...

Weird...

Thanks for your help
