Hi all,

While attempting to build an r720 host with 2 configured physical disks 
(sda,sdb) I continually receive the following kinds of errors (I've also 
included some suspicious messages higher up in the log):

blivet: DEBUG  partitions: []

The weird thing is the node was building properly prior to reverting a small 
postscript change I had made yesterday, so I am not quite sure why this issue 
would be occurring now. I also went ahead and re-did the RAID controller setup 
on this host, as well as trying out various other configurations in the 
kickstart file (e.g. excluding /dev/sda from the config altogether, etc...) but 
so far it has not made a difference.

Just wondering if anyone has encountered the issue before, or could perhaps 
suggest another investigatorial path...?

Prior to re-configuring the RAID I was experiencing the following errors (if 
it's helpful):

Not enough space in file systems for the current software selection. An 
additional XXXX MiB is needed.

and..

keyerror: u'/dev/sda'
