As you seem to do all the LVM building as well (you could have<br>setup-storage do that for you ...) you want to skip any default partition<br>commands you need to add<br><br>touch $LOGDIR/skip.partition<br><br>at the end of your script.<br><br></blockquote>that's cool, thanks<br><blockquote id="DWT164" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">> 2. should I mount the fs's I created in my script to /target or is fai looking for available paritions to mount? <br>> <br>[...]<br><br>You will have to make your script build an fstab file in $LOGDIR. Then FAI will<br>mount whatever is defined in this file.<br><br></blockquote>At what point will this happen? and is the fstab file on the target machine updated with those fs's (incl options) as well?<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hope this helps,<br>Michael<br><br></blockquote><br></div></body></html>
