Is there a way for me to get a list of which classes are set for a FAI
installation while the install is happening? I am running a FAI install as I
write this and I'm logged into the machine via ssh. I can see that the disk
was not partitioned the way I want but I do not know why. I would like to
make sure that the right class is set for partitioning the drive.
PS: Details on the partitioning problem... I have to install on machines
with disks ranging from 40Gb to 240Gb. These are workstations and there is
a lot of software installed in /usr/local but we don't need much space in
/home because we have home dirs mounted via nfs. So I need at least 15G in
/usr. /home can be less than 10Gb. I had the following lines in my disk
config:
logical /home 100-50% ext3 rw,nosuid createopts="-m 1"
tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical 20G-40G /usr ext3 rw
But on a machine with a 40Gb drive, I got a 8Gb /usr partition and a 20Gb
/home. That's about the reverse of what I want so I changed it to this:
logical /home 10G-40G ext3 rw,nosuid createopts="-m 1"
tuneopts="-c 0 -i 0"
logical /usr 20G-50% ext3 rw
But I got exactly (or almost exactly) the same partition sizes.
