Hi Bernard,
Brian checked in a potential fix (clean MBR) into trunk that might solve the problem - do you mind testing it for us and see if it works?
OK, in stead of waiting for the parted developers to fix this bug, a neat workaround is to zero out the MBR ! I didn't realize this would suffice... Anyway, for simplicity I manually added these lines from Server.pm in the node master script just before the parted "mklabel" command: # Wipe the MBR (Master Boot Record) clean. logmsg "dd if=/dev/zero of=$DISK0 bs=512 count=1 || shellout" dd if=/dev/zero of=$DISK0 bs=512 count=1 || shellout Lo and behold, the succeeding parted "mklabel" commands now work without any problems, and SystemImager installation proceeds normally ! I wonder if this workaround is a permanent solution that should stay in the SystemImager code, or if it's really a problem which should be explained in more detail to the parted develeopers, hoping that they would ultimately fix it ?
