Yep, and it didn't work. I made a file in $config/class/ called 
SAS-VIBRANT-1DISK-WEB.var, which is my class for SAS disks, and put in it:

	sfdisk="--force -C 8920 -H 255 -S 63"

And the output in fai.log shows:


	Partitioning local harddisks
	setup_harddisks version 0.41fai
	Probing disks:  /dev/cciss/c0d0
	Disks found:Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: cannot get geometry
	Illegal division by zero at /usr/sbin/setup_harddisks line 298.
	setup_harddisks version 0.41fai
	Probing disks:  /dev/cciss/c0d0
	Disks found:setup_harddisks did not create 
/var/log/fai/current/disk_var.sh file.




So its dead again.



Thanks Thomas,
