Hi, We would like to use LVM on an entire disk, especially when making partitions over than 2T (xfs).
We would like to use someting like that...
disk_config disk1 bootable:1
primary /boot 100 ext3 rw
primary swap 1G swap sw
primary / 1G ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro
logical /usr 1500 ext3 rw
logical /var 1G ext3 rw
logical /home 512 ext3 rw
logical /tmp 1G ext3 rw
disk_config disk2
disk_config lvm
vg BACKUP disk2
BACKUP-BACKUP /BACKUP 1T ext3 rw,noatime
BACKUP-BACKUP2 /BACKUP2 5T- xfs rw,noatime
Unfortunately, we we unable to use this syntax :
disk_config disk2
disk_config lvm
vg BACKUP disk2
...
But something like, works, but not for parts over 2T.
disk_config disk2
primary - 1G- - -
disk_config lvm
vg BACKUP disk2.1
...
I have patched setup-storage to handle LVM on an entire disk like this:
file: usr/share/fai/setup-storage/Parser.pm near lines 607
if ($dev =~ m/^disk(\d+)\.(\d+)/) {
$dev = &FAI::make_device_name("/dev/" . $FAI::disks[ $1
- 1 ], $2);
+ } elsif ($dev =~ m/^disk(\d+)/) {
+ $dev = "/dev/" . $FAI::disks[ $1 - 1 ];
} else {
$dev = "/dev/$dev";
}
Hope this will (or has already) be(en) integrated in next release :)
