Rewriting setup_harddisk is on the TODO list since a long timne (over
a year). There are som ideas about a new format for disk_config files
and there's a beta version for a perl wrapper to libparted. But since
now I had no time to work on this project, because there are other
things in fai that needs work. And setup_harddisk seems to work for
most of the people in its current state.

I think a new setup_harddisk tools (which support for reiserfs, xfs,
lvm, raid,...) needs more than one year time for development. Please
do not start a project, when you do net feel to have a lot of time for
it. It's not worth to start something that can't be finished by you,
and nobody else will finish it for you.

Back to you Bruce. Why can't you live with hooks right now?
