This has been reported before, but you're the first to provide a log - thanks!!!

Could you please apply the attached patch to
/usr/lib/fai/setup-storage/Volumes.pm in your NFSROOT and retry? Quite likely
there are some more bugs hidden in the respective code, but the logs will likely
help to fix this quite soon.

Thanks a lot,
Michael
