Hi Jan,

I guess that you are looking for something like this

disk_config vdc
raw-disk    /home   0    ext4   noatime,errors=remount-ro   createopts="-F"


The corresponding documentation is: (https://fai-project.org/doc/man/setup-storage.html)
=======================================================
SYNTAX:
| raw-disk
/* for physical disks only: do not partition this disk, use it as-is */

CAVEATS:        
If you use a raw partition, you should add -F to the createopts, otherwise mkfs.ext4 hangs due to a warning message. See man mfs.ext4 for more info on -F. An example config using a raw disk looks like this: raw-disk / 4GB ext4 rw createopts="-F"
=======================================================


But this aproach is only usable if you are planning to use the disk as whole.

Hi,

I am new to the fai project and have a question about disk configuration. Is it 
possible to create partitions from other blockdevices without a partition table?

Example:

disk_config sda align-at:1M disklabel:msdos bootable:1 fstabkey:uuid

primary /      0-       ext4  rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro


disk_config sdb

primary /opt   0-     ext4  rw,noatime,nodev

Unfortunately i didn't find anything in the documentation or maybe overlooked 
it.

best regards

Jan
