Hello I'd like to create the following layout
disklabel: gpt 1st part: biosboot partition for use with grub2 2nd part: swap partition (8GB size) 3rd part: lvm physical volume (rest of disk) volume group vg_system 1st logical volume: / with 4-12GB size os/nfsroot: Ubuntu natty faiclient: 3.4.7 setup-storage: 1.3 os/faiclient: Ubuntu lucid As far as I understood http://wiki.fai-project.org/wiki/Setup-storage there's no way to manually create a 'true' biosboot partition with setup-storage. The thing that comes closest is an 'unused partition' like 'primary - 10 - -' and manually flag it as a gpt boot partition later on. If I use disklabel:gpt-bios, then setup-storage automatically creates a third primary partition located at the end of the harddisc (last sectors). It was stated that the partition should be the last 'logical' partition (e.g. /dev/sda3) but the first 'physical' partition (e.g. sector 63-...) but gfdisk and parted tell me otherwise. So - what's the proper way to achieve it? It's okay if I have to switch the nfsroot to Debian and go experimental or something like that. I'm quite comfortable with handling differing nfsroot and client OS anyway. bye thomas
