There are a number of partman scripts which check whether the partition layout looks sane, e.g. some machines require a /boot partition of a specific type. I'm working on a machine which needs to have a separate /boot and / partition. Instead of creating yet another check and putting it in a random package, I thought it would make sense to create a partman-checks package in which to put such scripts. At the beginning of each script, archdetect would be started and the checks would only be run on specific machines.
Do people think creating such a package is a good idea? If so, I'll start moving such checks to this package. I'll start with those from partman-ext2rd, which include the following checks: - We need an old ext2 (revision 0) filesystem to boot - The boot file system has to be the first primary partition - The root partition has to be primary -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
