Hi,<BR>
<BR>
We would like to use LVM on an entire disk, especially when making partitions over than 2T (xfs).<BR>
<BR>
We would like to use someting like that...<BR>
<BR>
disk_config disk1 bootable:1<BR>
primary /boot 100 ext3 rw<BR>
primary swap 1G swap sw<BR>
primary / 1G ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro<BR>
logical /usr 1500 ext3 rw<BR>
logical /var 1G ext3 rw<BR>
logical /home 512 ext3 rw<BR>
logical /tmp 1G ext3 rw<BR>
<BR>
disk_config disk2<BR>
<BR>
disk_config lvm<BR>
vg BACKUP disk2<BR>
BACKUP-BACKUP /BACKUP 1T ext3 rw,noatime<BR>
BACKUP-BACKUP2 /BACKUP2 5T- xfs rw,noatime<BR>
<BR>
Unfortunately, we we unable to use this syntax :<BR>
disk_config disk2<BR>
disk_config lvm<BR>
vg BACKUP disk2<BR>
...<BR>
<BR>
But something like, works, but not for parts over 2T.<BR>
disk_config disk2<BR>
primary - 1G- - -<BR>
<BR>
disk_config lvm<BR>
vg BACKUP disk2.1<BR>
...<BR>
<BR>
I have patched setup-storage to handle LVM on an entire disk like this:<BR>
file: usr/share/fai/setup-storage/Parser.pm near lines 607<BR>
<BR>
if ($dev =~ m/^disk(\d+)\.(\d+)/) {<BR>
$dev = &FAI::make_device_name("/dev/" . $FAI::disks[ $1 - 1 ], $2);<BR>
+ } elsif ($dev =~ m/^disk(\d+)/) {<BR>
+ $dev = "/dev/" . $FAI::disks[ $1 - 1 ];<BR>
} else {<BR>
$dev = "/dev/$dev";<BR>
}<BR>
<BR>
Hope this will (or has already) be(en) integrated in next release :)<BR>
