A quote from one of my installations of a "normal" system, actually a dom-0: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Partitioning local harddisks setup_harddisks version 0.35fai Probing disks: /dev/sda Disks found: sda sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature /dev/sda: unrecognized partition table type No partitions found Using config file: /fai/disk_config/XEN0 Creating partition table: LC_ALL=C sfdisk -q /dev/sda < /tmp/fai/partition.sda sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature /dev/sda: unrecognized partition table type No partitions found Creating file systems: mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda1 mkswap /dev/sda2 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda3 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda5 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda6 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda7 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda8 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda9 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda10 mke2fs -q -j /dev/sda11 Write fstab to /tmp/fai/fstab Write FAI variables to file /tmp/fai/disk_var.sh Calling task_mountdisks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So it is telling me the same, but nevertheless continues to work; actually it is to be expected that there is not partition table on a new set of harddisks...
