Disk-layout for some special nodes out of many

[Carsten Aulbert]

Hi,

I have the following problem. Imagine I have about 20 machines which are
defined in under classes as (with case $(hostname) around it):


group*)
	echo "CLASS_A CLASS_B CLASS_C CLASS_D"

Then I have a few nodes out of these which need to get a differnt disk
layout, but apart from this, they they should be exactly the same, thus
I put this before the line above:

group*4)
	echo "CLASS_A CLASS_B CLASS_C CLASS_D CLASS_E"

Hoever, now I have the problem that there are conflicting disk
configurations:

disk_config/CLASS_D as well as disk_config/CLASS_E

I have not found the place yet where this is decided, since the first
time I tested this on one box, it just worked and I never made it work
on another box.

Right now I only see two ways out here:

(1) use the hostname as the disk_config/NAME as this seems to be a high
priority class
(2) create a disk_config for each group, e.g.

disk_config/GROUP_STANDARD and disk_config/GROUP_SPECIAL

and edit the files defiening the classes to refelct this.

However, it would be nice to give priorities to classes, is this
possible somehow?

Cheers

Carsten
