Hello Gentlemen,

I would like to ask a question about an issue I have with the Centos 6.3
installation.

I have installed a Centos 6.3 on a server we used before with 5.4 on
Friday. I have created a KS file to let me connect to the server via VNC
and have all repos and packages preconfigured. I only needed to
partition the hard drive using VNC.

During the partition process I selected which volumes should be
formatted and which should be left alone.

The installation went perfectly, without a problem. I added the server
to our Puppet infrastructure and started to assign modules to it.

After I have installed and configured samba I wanted to mount the data
volume so that people could continue their work on Monday.

Unfortunately the partition was empty. Only the lost+found directory was
present.

Can you please tell me what went wrong? Or if this can be fixed somehow?

Here is the anaconda generated KS file that is based on my own that I
included in my Centos image:

# Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda.

#version=DEVEL

cdrom

What is in the mount directory when the lv is not mounted?
