Hello!

Now it passes the overlapping partitions check but has other things to
complain about :-)

"More than 1 extended partition" while there isn't (even according to
the data structure it outputs just before). None of the input was
changed from last week. Output attached.

Toomas

PS Do we need to carry on this conversation on the list? Is anyone else
interested or can we switch to private e-mail?

Starting setup-storage 1.2.1+exp
disklist was: hda
Using config file: /var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/DISK_jensen
Input was:
# setup-storage configuration file for the laptop, jensen.
#
# It comes with a small partition as sda1, the larger
# sda2 for Win7, and sda4 for recovery.
#
# I shrunk sda2, created an extended partition in the empty
# space, and divided it between Windows Home (D:) and linux
# partitions. We preserve the size and location of everything, 
# but create new filesystems.

# We use the "always_format" option which was created partially
# at my own request into FAI 3.3.5+experimental2.
