FAI with RAID+CRYPT+LVM

[Paul Schulz]

Hi Alexandros

Thank you for your reply. It was helpful and I have made some progress,
but I'm still getting errors when processing the 'cryptsetup' stanza.

I have attached my FAI configuration files that I am tying to parse.
  FSRAID - produces error on 'luks' line
  FSRAID-parses

(If I comment out the 'luks' line I can parse.but I don't know what output
or commands it will produce.)

To test this, I have used copy of the latest github code, and have modified
the code so it can access it's perl modules (without installation).

Also, I gen another error if I don't use the full path
'/dev/mapper/md1_crypt'
in the luks line, BUT cryptsetup only uses the filename part ' md1_crypt'.

I am trying to grok the parser code...

Regards,
Paul
