Hi Andrea, as far as I understand, you suggest that if a device.map file is present, you copy it to /a/boot/grub/device.map.image . Moving would be bad, but copying is fine, so that we have under control whether we provide a file or not. Guess your're aiming at pre-install scriptlets?
In fact through the overrides one has very fine-grained control on what would be done on a node with respect to the device.map file, for the case that the nodes have different types of disks than the golden client. That's why I saw no real problem with the patch r711. My point was to have at least some way of disabling the device.map generation (which is unreliable). I tagged systemconfigurator 2.2.12 but didn't put the RPMs on the download page, as nobody ever complained about this kind of issue. If no other patches show up in near future, I'll complete the "release".
