4.9.7. Kickstart # File Preservation —
Collects lists of files to be protected and re-deployed on systems during kickstart. For instance,
if you have many custom configuration files located on a system to be kickstarted, enter them
here as a list and associate that list with the kickstart profile to be used.
To use this feature, click the create new file preservation list link at the top and enter a
relevant label and all files and directories to be preserved on the resulting page. Enter absolute
paths to all files and directories. Then click Create List.
Important
Although file preservation is useful, it does have limitations. First, each list is
limited to a total size of 1 MB. Further, special devices like
/dev/hda1
and
/dev/sda1
are not supported. Finally, only file and directory names may be
entered. No regular expression wildcards can be included.
When finished, you may include the file preservation list in the kickstart profile to be used on
systems containing those files. Refer to Section 4.9.3, “Create a New Kickstart Profile” for
precise steps.
