FAI disk_config without partition table

[Luboš Černý]

Hi Jan,

I guess that you are looking for something like this

disk_config vdc
raw-disk    /home   0    ext4   noatime,errors=remount-ro   createopts="-F"


The corresponding documentation is: 
(https://fai-project.org/doc/man/setup-storage.html)
=======================================================
SYNTAX:
| raw-disk
/* for physical disks only: do not partition this disk, use it as-is */

CAVEATS: 	
If you use a raw partition, you should add -F to the createopts, 
otherwise mkfs.ext4 hangs due to a warning message. See man mfs.ext4 for 
more info on -F. An example config using a raw disk looks like this: 
raw-disk / 4GB ext4 rw createopts="-F"
=======================================================


But this aproach is only usable if you are planning to use the disk as 
whole.
