update: i looked into the bug, traced it down through perl and bash scripts. here's the bottom line:
the script /usr/lib/fai/disk-info is used to set the environment variable $disklist (it is called in a bash routine called 'set_disk_info' that can be seen in the environment of the shell). without this environment variable, everything related to paritioning will fail. /usr/lib/fai/disk-info treats everyting in /dev/ as disk (except for cdrom, mounted usb drive) that belongs to the group "disk". as i use the grml kernel (3.1.0-grml64) my disks are not recognized because they belong to root:root and not to root:disk as on a regular ubuntu. should this be directly reported on the fai list? and where whould that be? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu FAI Developers, which is subscribed to fai in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941959 Title: setup-storage fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fai/+bug/941959/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~fai Post to : fai@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~fai More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
