Hi,

A few times ago, we've improve setup-storage so LVM and RAID arrays
could refer to diskX to use entire disk.

I've found in the changelogs that it has been integrated in
setup-storage 1.1.2 ; fai (3.3) ; Tue, 03 Nov 2009

"changelog : setup-storage/Parser.pm: LVM volume groups or RAID arrays
may now refer to diskX to use the entire disk"

This has well worked, but today we've found that it doesn't works
anymore.

setup-storage tell us : "Empty disk_config stanza for device /dev/sdb"

We used to declare this type of config like this :

disk_config disk1 bootable:1
primary /boot           100     ext3    rw
primary swap            1G      swap    sw
primary /               1G      ext3    rw,errors=remount-ro
logical /usr            2G      ext3    rw
logical /var            2G      ext3    rw
logical /home           512     ext3    rw
logical /tmp            1G      ext3    rw
logical -               4G-     -       -

disk_config disk2

disk_config lvm
vg VG1          disk1.9
[...]

disk_config lvm
vg VG2                  disk2
VG2-PART1               /PART1          30G-    xfs rw

I've tried to comment line : "disk_config disk2"
this give us the error : /dev/sdb is not a valid block device

Could you tell me what is the "correct" way to declare such a configuration 
please ?
