Hi all, I'm still puzzled by setup-storage (fai 3.2.17~lenny1). Imagine a server with two (locical) device sda and sdb and the following disk_layout:
disk_config disk1 disklabel:msdos bootable:1 primary /boot 128 ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro primary / 8000 ext3 rw primary swap 8192 swap sw logical /var 20000 ext3 rw logical /tmp 2000 ext3 rw logical /local 5000- ext3 rw,nosuid createopts="- m1",tuneopts="-c0 -i0" disk_config disk2 disklabel:gpt preserve_reinstall:1 primary /data 1000- xfs rw This one does preserve the data partition upon a reinstall as I want it. However, when I put new disks into this system, it will barf at me, as I've not given it the "initial" flag and terminate the install. If I keep the initial flag, data would be wiped out during the install. With preserve_always it will stop the install if this partition does not exist or will keep it, if it's already there. Is there a generic way to do "create the partition if it's not yet present otherwise keep it?" Cheers Carsten
