Hey,
Is it possible to set labels on individual partitions with setup-storage
when GPT is being used?

Do you want to set a label so you can mount the filesystem by using
cy boot clients).
Well... I'm still using legacy boot for these machines. I've been
meaning to get UEFI network booting set up, but I just haven't had the
time. I thought I'd try and do that this month while we're in lockdown,
but I've been busy!

copying the keys back into place, and the partitions don't need to be
mounted for the build phase.
Is the reason that setup-storage can't just leave these volumes alone
if they already exist?

ltiple files that match as the last match
would be what is used. FAI processes the files in the class directory
in shell sorting order.
We also use multiple Perl scripts that perform a regexes on the
hostname and sets classes that way. One script perl per cluster type or
customer.

Hey,
Is it possible to have Dracut stop on the first interface that receives
a DHCP configuration?
Some of my servers have 8 NICs, and while we typically netboot off
eth0, the rest might be plugged into switches and it can take a long

I have a requirement to change some of the settings that are passed to

Hey,
When we manually create them, we tend to name our VGs for SSDs as: vg-
ssd[0-9]+ .
However, setup-storage doesn't like that and ends up confused with the
colums on the vg line in the disk_config file.
Would it be able possible to have VG names allow hyphens?
