Hi,
I have a new Thinkpad and want to preserve the second partition (Compaq
Diagnostics) while making a extended partition out of the first one.
setup_harddisks once worked with this configuration:
disk_config disk1
logical / 8192- rw,errors=remount-ro ; -j ext3
logical swap 127-1024 rw
primary - preserve2
but setup-storage (version 1.2.1 from fai-client 3.3.5) does not work with that
one:
disk_config disk1 preserve_always:2
logical / 8192- ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro
logical swap 1024-4096 swap sw
primary - 0- - -
Output is:
# debug=1 disklist=sda setup-storage -f
/var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/THINKPAD
setup-harddisks is running in test-only mode
disklist was: sda
Starting setup-storage 1.2.1
Using config file: /var/lib/fai/config/disk_config/THINKPAD
Input was:
disk_config disk1 preserve_always:2
logical / 8192- ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro
logical swap 1024-4096 swap sw
primary - 0- - -

Preserved partition /dev/sda2 does not end at a cylinder boundary, parted may
fail to restore the partition!
Insufficient space available for partition /dev/sda5
What to do?

Frank.
