Could you give the following configuration a try? =============================================================================== # # NEW FAI PARTITION SYSTEM # # Include LVM/RAID, Generic disk naming # # http://faiwiki.debian.net/index.php/Setup-storage # 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 raw-disk - 0 - - disk_config lvm vg HEBEX disk1.9 HEBEX-WOO_DATA /WOO/DATA 10G ext3 rw HEBEX-WOO_LOG /WOO/LOG 10G- ext3 rw,noatime HEBEX-WOO_WEB /WOO/WEB 10G ext3 rw HEBEX-WOO_CHROOT /WOO/CHROOT 30G ext3 rw disk_config lvm vg PPC disk2 PPC-WOO /WOO 30G- xfs rw =============================================================================== The problem with entirely leaving out disk2/sdb is that setup-storage does not know whether it may put a new disk label on that device or whether that would corrupt a disk setup-storage should not have touched. With the above config it is made explicit that setup-storage is to configure the disk the way it needs to be configured. Well, and going without a (temporary) disk label poses problems with parted, which refuses to display the geometry of a device without a disk label. Without such information, however, setup-storage cannot determine the size of the volumes that will end up on disk2/sdb, e.g., the 30G- volume. Mât, could you please give this config another try? Thanks a lot, Michael
