But I want 4G in this case... Write a hook that acts between the disk_config template and setup_storage and has some more sophisticated logic? At least that's the way I chose to be able to provide different volume group names and/or different filesystems for different environments without creating 25something templates which basically all tell the same story. [Added bonus: This way I can control volumegroup names and filesystems even on a per-host base.] I've attached the relevant files. - copy DISKlvm to disk_config/ - copy partition.DISKlvm to hooks/ - define a class DISKlvm during class/ scripts I think that's it. This hook does not configure filesystem sizes yet, but that's probably not too hard to implement. Warning: I wrote this quite some time ago. It worked since then and I never bothered to review the code. tschüß thomas
