I have kickstart partion 4 drives in the following way -

part raid.100000 --size=250 --ondisk=sda
part raid.100001 --size=250 --ondisk=sdb
part raid.100002 --size=250 --ondisk=sdc
part raid.100003 --size=250 --ondisk=sdd
part raid.100004 --size=50000 --ondisk=sda
part raid.100005 --size=50000 --ondisk=sdb
part raid.100006 --size=50000 --ondisk=sdc
part raid.100007 --size=50000 --ondisk=sdd
part raid.100008 --size=2048 --ondisk=sda
part raid.100009 --size=2048 --ondisk=sdb
part raid.100010 --size=2048 --ondisk=sdc
part raid.100011 --size=2048 --ondisk=sdd
part raid.100012 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda
part raid.100013 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdb
part raid.100014 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdc
part raid.100015 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sdd
raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 --device=md0 raid.100000 raid.100001 raid.100002 raid.100003
raid / --fstype ext4 --level=RAID10 --device=md1 raid.100004 raid.100005 raid.100006 raid.100007
raid swap --fstype swap --level=RAID0 --device=md2 raid.100008 raid.100009 raid.100010 raid.100011
raid /local --fstype=ext4 --level=RAID10 --device=md3 raid.100012 raid.100013 raid.100014 raid.100015


After installation is completed mdadm --detail /dev/md0 md1 and md2 all show ok

But I get this with /dev/md3 - Any Ideas?

That usually means you're missing a drive. Are you sure they're all specified correctly?

Yes they are specified correctly. I can replicate this same issue over and over again with this kickstart conifg. There are 4 drives total in the system ------ /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdc5 seem to disappear for no reason



/dev/md0 -

With the information you've provided, I would say that md3 needs to be partitioned differently. Although I don't know exactly why.

Try to hotadd missing devices and see errors output if any:
