prefdisk_cmd - System command to run before fdisk
I use this for blanking the MBR, but may have other uses
prefdisk_cmd = dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk bs=1024 count=1
postfdisk_cmd - System command to run after fdisk
I use this to slap on an premade MBR and partition
I have to switch off other functions to make this work, ie:
postfdisk_cmd = /z/site/sh/premade-partition-slapon.sh
fdisk_cmds=
replace_mbr = 0
format_cmd =
The real fix here would be to allow fdisk_cmds to run any system command(s)
and translate only the 'fdisk' ones,
but my perl knowledge is not good enough to pull it off :-)
OK, I do support the idea to improve the partition scheme in unattended in
Nils' second direction:
allow fdisk_cmds to run any system command(s)
What about a new meta function, say partition_cmd, that is either a
script or something like layout:pri:10GB,boot;ext:all;log:10GB,fat32.
I'm not certain, how to support DOS and Linux boot disks with the script
path, but the layout: scheme translates to both parted and fdisk easily
(for parted I have a script already). The old fdisk_cmd is supported for
elder configurations, but partition_cmd overrules it if present.
predosemu_cmd - System command to run before dosemu
alt_dosemu_cmd - Alternate System command to run in place of dosemu
postdosemu_cmd - System command to run after dosemu
I like them.
I will be happy to create ready-to-go patches go, but need some feedback.
I will do the same for the partition_cmd idea ;-)
Bye
