I have a problem with my configuration: if the preserve flag is set and
the format option is given, hda2 is not formatted.
Here is my disk_config file (vmclient):
(hda1 is a vfat partition, hda2 ext2 and hda3 swap)
disk_config hda
primary - preserve1
primary / preserve2 rw,errors=remount-ro ; format
primary swap preserve3 rw ; format
And this is format.log from the client:
FAI: setup harddisks V0.10fai
disks found: hda
parsing config file: /fai/disk_config/vmclient
Partition with sfdisk:
# partition table of device: /dev/hda
unit: sectors
/dev/hda1 : start= 63, size= 1435329, Id= 6
/dev/hda2 : start= 1435392, size= 2358720, Id= 83, bootable
/dev/hda3 : start= 3794112, size= 298368, Id= 82
LC_ALL=C sfdisk -q /dev/hda < /tmp/hda.sfdisk
Formating disks:
Preserve Partition hda1 with no mountpoint
Make Swap Partition:
mkswap /dev/hda3
Write fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#<file sys> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump>
<pass>
/dev/hda2 / ext2 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap rw 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
Write FAI variables to file /tmp/disk_var.sh
And also hda.sfdisk :)
# partition table of device: /dev/hda
unit: sectors
/dev/hda1 : start= 63, size= 1435329, Id= 6
/dev/hda2 : start= 1435392, size= 2358720, Id= 83, bootable
/dev/hda3 : start= 3794112, size= 298368, Id= 82
Any idea ?

Roberto
