we'd discussed something like this before - however, leaving it as is means we have 1 type of error when the disk is too small - the error at partition time. if we try to make it smarter, there are additional problems we would see. - the partition isn't large enough to hold all the data from the golden client, which will manifistate itself as an rsync error. - the last-nth partition also goes beyond the end of the disk - its difficult to adjust for that. detecting this state beforehand is a good idea though - i'd think a patch that checked to make sure it had enough space before starting to partition would be a good thing, that way we could tell the user exactly what is wrong, and how to fix it before sfdisk/parted throws up all over them. if you're interested in doing this, see: http://www.systemimager.org/doc/html/develop.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
