Hello Jeremy,

--autodetect-disks is only for identifying the correct device name at
installation time. The most common use is if you have some computers that
have scsi or sata drivers with sd* device names and others with regular
ide/pata drivers and hd* device names.

If you want systemimager to use all the disk space available when creating
partitions, you have to specify a single partition that should get all the
remaining disk space or save the partition sizes in percent values instead
of fixed megabytes. For the former I believe you have to manually edit the
autoinstallscript.conf and set the partition size to the special value of
"*". For the latter you can pass the "--unit %" parameter to
si_prepareclient.

See also "man autoinstallscript.conf".

Good luck,
Thomas Krause

Betreff: [sisuite-users] dynamic disk


I've been using systemimager for a long time now.  I'm currently in an 
environment that has a lot of different types of machines with many 
different disk configurations.  I'd like to apply the same image to these 
different disk configs without having to have a different image for each 
class.

I've tried using

        -autodetect-disks
               Try to detect available disks on the client instead of using 
devices from autoinstallscript.conf.

which sounds logical, but so far it hasn't worked.  It continues as if 
disk sizes are fixed.  I just upgraded to 4.0.2.

Is this possible with systemimager?  What am I missing?

Thanks
-jeremy
